Begzada (Kurdish), Beyzade (Turkish), and Begzadići (Slavic), Beizadea (Romanian), Begzadi (female) "Bəyzadə" (Azerbaijani) are titles given within the Ottoman Empire to provisional governors and military generals who are descendants of noble households and occupy important positions within the empire.[1][2][3] The term "Beyzade" often appears in Western accounts of the Ottoman Empire as superiors within the society, usually men who held much authority.[4][5] In Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus, and some parts of Anatolia and Iraqi Kurdistan, the title of Beyzade was given to Circassian princes who led parts of the Ottoman conquest in these regions.[6][7][8][9]
