In some dynasties, a specific style other than prince has become customary for dynasts, such as {{Lang|fr|[[fils de France]]}} in the [[House of Capet]], and {{Lang|es|[[Infante]]}}. {{Lang|es|Infante}} was borne by children of the monarch other than the [[heir apparent]] in all of the [[Iberian Peninsula|Iberian]] monarchies. Some monarchies used a specific princely title for their heirs, such as [[Prince of Asturias]] in Spain and [[Prince of Brazil]] in Portugal.

Sometimes a specific title is commonly used by various dynasties in a region, e.g. [[Mian (title)|Mian]] in various of the Punjabi princely [[Hill States]] (lower Himalayan region in British India).

European dynasties usually awarded [[appanage]]s to princes of the blood, typically attached to a feudal noble title, such as [[Prince of Orange]] in the Netherlands, Britain's [[royal duke]]s, the {{Lang|fr|[[Dauphin of France|Dauphin]]}} in France, the Count of Flanders in Belgium, and the Count of Syracuse in [[Two Sicilies|Sicily]]. Sometimes appanage titles were princely, e.g. [[Prince of Achaia]] (Courtenay), {{Lang|fr|Prince de Condé}} (Bourbon), [[Prince of Carignan]] (Savoy), but it was the fact that their owners were of princely ''rank'' rather than that they held a princely ''title'' which was the source of their pre-eminence.
