- , the lack of dependence on any higher ruler), albeit without claiming the overall caliphate, or to refer to a powerful governor of a province within the caliphate
- The dynasty and lands ruled by a sultan are referred to as a sultanate (سلطنة salṭanah)
- A feminine form of sultan, used by Westerners, is sultana or sultanah; but Turkish and Ottoman Turkish uses "Sultan" for all women, because Turkish grammar uses the same words for women and men
