Osman I

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Osman I (or Uthman I) (1259–1326)

Turkish ruler from 1299. He began his career in the service of the Seljuk Turks, but in 1299 he set up a kingdom of his own in Bithynia, northwestern Asia, and assumed the title of sultan. He conquered a great part of Anatolia, so founding a Turkish empire. His successors were known as ‘sons of Osman’, from which the term Ottoman Empire is derived.
