Hajib
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "hajib" is not to be confused with the word "hijab", which is a headscarf for Muslim women.
A hajib from Arabic الحاجب was a government official in Al-Andalus (Spain) and Egypt. They began as Chamberlains but by 756 had evolved to be equivalent to a vizier.
