Mahout (Wikipedia.org)

A mahout is a person who drives an elephant. The word mahout comes from the Hindi words mahaut and mahavat, derivatives of the Sanskrit word mahamatra, meaning "[one] having great measure."

Another term for mahout is cornac (as in French, from the Portuguese; kornak in Dutch and Polish, also a rather current last name) ,in TAMIL "Pahan" which also means elephant keeper, from the Singhalese kurawanayaka ('stable master' - also a former Hindu culture).

In Burma (Myanmar) the profession is called oozie, and in Thailand (Siam) kao-chang.
