This article appears in Volume V26, Page 70 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SULTAN (an Arabic word meaning " victorious " or " a ruler," sultat, dominion) , a
title
  o` honour borne by a
great
  variety of rulers of very varying
powers
  and importance in
Mahommedan
  Africa and the
East
 . The word has thus no exact equivalent in
English
 , and was early imported into the language in the
Middle
 
English
  form of soudan (from old Fr. soudan, souldan). This
title
  is that conventionally applied by foreigners to the ruler of the Ottoman
Empire
 , the
sultan
  par excellence, whose proper styles are, however, padishah (emperor) and "
commander
  of the faithful " (see AlIa). The feminine form " sultana " is derived from the Italian (fern. of
sultan
 ).
