Ghazi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghazi is a title given to Muslim warriors or champions. It may be used out of respect or officially. Many of the Ottoman Sultans and Caliphs wore this title officially (as in Caliph Sultan Ghazi Mehmed II Khan Caesar), along with Khan and Caesar. Muslim champions, such as Saladin, may have this title added to their name (Ghazi Saladin) out of respect.
