Line 19: Instead of a European style surname, Muslims in the Ottoman Empire carried [[title]]s such as "[[Pasha]]", "[[Hoca]]", "[[Bey]]", "[[Khanum\|Hanım]]", "[[Agha (title)\|Agha]]", "[[Efendi]]". These titles either defined their formal profession (such as Pasha, Hoca, etc.) or their informal status within the society (such as Bey, Agha, Hanım, Efendi, etc.). Ottoman [[prime minister]]s (Sadrazam/Vezir-î Azam or [[Grand Vizier]]), [[minister (government)\|minister]]s (Nazır/Vezir or [[Vizier]]), [[governor]]s ([[Wali (administrative title)\|Vali]]), other high-ranking [[civil servant]]s and [[general]]s/[[admiral]]s carried the title Pasha. Retired generals/admirals or high-ranking civil servants continued to carry this title in civilian life (a "Pasha" did not become a "Bey" after retiring from active military or political service.) Turkish MP [[Refik Şefik İnce]] suggested that, instead of using the term ''Soyadı (Ancestry Name) Kanunu'', the term ''Sanadı (Reputation Name) Kanunu'' should have been used for the Surname Law, referring to the method that was used for naming Muslim families in the Ottoman period, based on their reputation or fame in society. However, the [[Grand National Assembly of Turkey]] decided to use the term ''Soyadı'' because it denoted the meaning of ancestry, family, or relative.<ref>{{Cite book\|last=Bayir\|first=Derya\|title=Minorities and Nationalism in Turkish Law\|date=2016-04-22\|publisher=Routledge\|isbn=978-1-317-09580-4\|pages=104\|language=en}}</ref> == Rules ==
