Title of Iranian kings including the Achaemenid dynasty which unified Persia (4)

I believe the answer is:

shah

(Other definitions for shah that I've seen before include "Former Persian ruler" , "Former hereditary monarch of Iran" , "Deposed Iranian ruler" , "Old king" , "Title of Iranian monarch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
