ATI Glossary

brahman (from Pali brāhmāṇa): The brahman (brahmin) caste of India has long maintained that its members, by their birth, are worthy of the highest respect. The Buddha borrowed the term brahman to apply to those who have attained the goal, to show that respect is earned not by birth, race, or caste, but by spiritual attainment. Used in the Buddhist sense, this term is synonymous with arahant.

Glossary Thanissaro

Brahman: In common usage, a brahman is a member of the priestly caste, which claimed to be the highest caste in India, based on birth. In a specifically Buddhist usage, “brahman” can also mean an arahant, conveying the point that excellence is based, not on birth or race, but on the qualities attained in the mind.
