köken: Inherited from Byzantine Greek βασιλιάς < βασιλέας (basiléas) with synizesis [ʎa] to avoid hiatus. From Ancient Greek βασιλεύς (basileús, “king, leader, prince, emperor”), from Proto-Hellenic *gʷatiléus; the word, attested in some form since Mycenaean times, is of uncertain ultimate etymology; possibly of Anatolian origin. Also see βασίλισσα (basílissa, “queen”).
köken: From Old Swedish drotin (with -in interpreted as the definite suffix), from Old Norse dróttinn, from Proto-Germanic *druhtinaz. Related to dryg (lasting, heavy).
