Notlar	In current studies and texts, although the term “Ottoman Empire” is more commonly used to refer to the Ottomans, there seems to be some confusion about the name of this Muslim dynasty, especially since this title does not align with sources from the Ottoman period. This can mean that a serious reconsideration in this area is necessary. Examination of historical texts, historical writings, and Ottoman-era sources indicates that based on common naming patterns in Islamic states, the name “Āl-iʿOt̲h̲mān” was prevalent for this dynasty throughout its history. Following the transformation from Ottoman Beylik to the Ottoman state, the term “Dewlat-i ʿOt̲h̲māniyyah” also became popular in historical works and sources from the second half of the 8th century after Hijrah. Additionally, in Persian sources and sometimes in Ottoman Turkish, the name “ʿOt̲h̲māniyān” is also visible. However, in later periods of the Ottoman era, the term “Dewlat-i ʿĀlīyyah ʿOt̲h̲māniyyah” was more commonly used in historical texts and sources to refer to this ancient dynasty, and it was more prevalent in official documents and government insignia. This title likely corresponds to the meaning of “Ottoman Empire” in Western historical works, where its use was often deliberate. Therefore, it seems that using “Dewlat-i ʿOt̲h̲māniyyah/Ottoman State” instead of “Ottoman Empire” in current studies would be a more appropriate and accurate designation.
