King of Champa is the title ruler of Champa. Champa rulers often use two Hinduist style titles: raja-di-raja (राजाओं का राजा "king of kings"; written here in Devanagari since the Cham used their own Cham script)[1] or po-tana-raya ("lord of all territories").[2]
The regnal name of the Champa rulers originated from the Hindu tradition, often consisting of titles and aliases. Titles (prefix) like: Jaya (जय "victory"), Maha (महा "great"), Sri (श्री "glory"). Aliases (stem) like: Bhadravarman, Vikrantavarman, Rudravarman, Simhavarman, Indravarman, Paramesvaravarman, Harivarman... Among them, the suffix -varman[3] belongs to the warrior class and is only for those leaders of the Champa Alliance.
The last king of Champa was deposed by Minh Mạng in 1832.[4]
