The Greek word for king is basileus
In France is it known as l’herbe royale When India was under British rule, instead of swearing on the bible in court, Hindus were allowed to swear on holy basil!

We grow several varieties including purple, lime and cinnamon and enjoy them in a great many dishes from salads to lasagne to fish and even ice cream. As Matt squinted only yesterday 'somehow I don't really consider basil a herb, it's more than that'.
