LANGUAGE FAMILY:afro-asiatic > semitic > central semitic > arabicORIGIN:arabic NAME ROOT:SULṭAH > SULṭāNNATIVE NAME ROOT:SULṭAH (سلطة) SULṭāN (سلطانة)MEANING:
This name derives from the Arabic “sulṭah > sulṭān”, meaning “strength, authority, rulership, authority, power". Sultan is a noble title with several historical meanings. The dynasty and lands ruled by a sultan are referred to as a sultanate (Arabic: ṣalṭanah). A feminine form, used by westerners, is Sultana or Sultanah; though the very styling misconstrues the roles of wives of sultans.
