Sultan

If you are looking for a strong and significant name for your son, Sultan is a standout choice. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Ruler, king, authority', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Quranic regions, Sultan has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Sultan comes from the Arabic root s-l-t, meaning “to have power” or “authority.” The Quran uses “sultan” to mean authority or clear proof (e.g. “sultanin mubin,” a clear authority); it later came to describe rulers and monarchs.
