Çelebi (title)
Çelebi (IPA: /t͡ʃelebi/) is a Turkish title meaning "gentleman", "well-mannered" or "courteous". ''Çelebi'' also means “man of God”, as a ''i''-suffixed derivative from ''çalab'' (IPA /t͡ʃalab/), which means "God" in old Turkish. German linguist and Turkologist Marcel Erdal, citing Baron Tiesenhausen, traces ''çalab'' back to Arabic djellaba "importer, trader, merchant" > "high social positions"; ''jallāb'' is derived from root ''j-l-b'' "to have brought, to import", ultimately from West Semitic root ''g-l-b'' "to catch, to fetch". Notable people with the title include: * The sons of Ottoman sultan Bayezid I, who fought one another for the throne in the Ottoman Interregnum of 1402 to 1413: ** İsa Çelebi (1380–1406) ** Musa Çelebi (died 1413) ** Mehmed Çelebi (1390–1421), who won the civil war, being crowned sultan Mehmed I ** Mustafa Çelebi (1393–1422) ** Süleyman Çelebi (1377–1411) * Ali Çelebi: see Kınalızâde Ali Çelebi * Aşık Çelebi (1520– ...
