About the name Sultan
In classical Arabic "sultan" means power, authority and also convincing proof, and the Quran uses the word in these senses. Later it became a title for rulers, as in the Ottoman and Mamluk sultans. As a given name it is common in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Kuwait. English readers will recognise the word, which makes it easy to use abroad.
