Infante

Infante (from the Lat. infans, 'an infant'), the title given in Spain and Portugal to the princes of the royal family, the corresponding title of INFANTA being given to the princesses. Since 1888, however, the heir-apparent to the throne in Spain has been styled the Prince of Asturias, and the heir-apparent in Portugal, until the separation of Brazil from the mother-country, bore the title of Prince of Brazil. The personal domain of an Infante or Infauta is called the Infantado.
