Sahib ( /səˈhiːb/, traditionally /ˈsɑː.iːb/ or /ˈsɑːb/; Arabic: صاحب‎, Urdu: صاحب, Punjabi: ਸਾਹਬ, Hindi: साहिब) is a word of Arabic origin and is primarily used in Urdu which literally translates to "Owner" or "Proprietor". The primary Punjabi meaning of Sahib (صاحب) is "associate, companion, comrade, friend" though it also includes "(with foll. genit.) man, owner, possessor, holder, master, lord, commander, representative, author or originator of ..." (Cowan 1994, 588).

It has passed on to several languages including Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Gujarati, Pashto, Persian, Turkish and Marathi. It has been translated in the Indian sub-continent after the advent of colonialism as: grace or, as in the Sikh religion, "Guru's honor".
