A name that means "razia sultana - delhi sultanate first female ruler".

Sultana is from the Arabic sulṭānah (سلطانة — female sultan, queen). Razia Sultana (Razia al-Din, 1205-1240) was the first female monarch of the Delhi Sultanate — and one of the few women to rule a major medieval Islamic empire. Overthrown and killed in 1240. Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain's Sultana's Dream (1905 Bengali utopian feminist novella) is also to South Asian feminist literature.

Where Sultana stands.

Sultana does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
