Patriarch

Originally a patriarch is a man who exercises autocratic authority over an extended family. See patriarchy.

The word has also taken on other meanings. In particular, the highest-ranking bishops in Eastern Orthodoxy and in the eastern rites of the Roman Catholic Church are called patriarchs. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are referred to as the three patriarchs of Judaism.
