Officially it means:<BR/><BR/><I>Highest honorary title in official usage in the Ottoman Empire and with slight variation in the states formed from its territories, where it is sometimes still employed (although Turkey formally abolished it in 1934 and Egypt in 1953).

Which would make the maize bearer Pochahontas??<BR/>And hey, Edison Marshal also wrote "Yankee Pasha."
