Sultan


 

A sultan (Arabic: سلطان) is an Islamic title, with several historical meanings.

Princely title

In the Ottoman dynastic system, every close relative, male and female, of the ruling Padishah (in the west also known as Great Sultan), was styled Sultan, either before or after the name, so equivalent to a western prince of the blood.
