Prestige = elite strata. That answers my question.

Yes, coming from the elite strata is and has objectively been considered signifiers of high status and prestige in most societies throughout human history.

I sense that you are trying to imply that I am applying some kind of value judgement in recognising what people have historically found prestigiuous.

If so you are completely missing the point.
