sultan

sultan: [16] Arabic sultān meant ‘ruler’. It was derived from Aramaic shultānā ‘power’, which in turn was based on the verb shəlēt ‘have power’. English acquired the word via medieval Latin sultānus. The Italian version of the word is sultano, whose feminine form has given English sultana ‘sultan’s wife’ [16]. The word was applied to a variety of small raisin (originally in full sultana raisin) in the early 19th century.

sultan (n.)

1550s, from Middle French sultan "ruler of Turkey" (16c.), ultimately from Arabic sultan "ruler, prince, monarch, king, queen," originally "power, dominion." According to Klein's sources, this is from Aramaic shultana "power," from shelet "have power." Earlier English word was soldan, soudan (c. 1300), used indiscriminately of Muslim rulers and sovereigns, from Old French souldan, soudan, from Medieval Latin sultanus. Related: Sultanic.
