An ethnic name, not transparently derived from Pali morphemes. Used as a proper noun in compounds like Sakyamuni and in genitive phrases like Sakyānaṁ rājā 'king of the Sakyas'.

Etymology. The Sakyas were a republican clan of north India (modern Nepal border region); the name is of uncertain origin, possibly from a root meaning 'to be able' or 'strength', though this remains speculative. The Buddha was born into this clan and is often called Sakyamuni 'the Sage of the Sakyas'.
