The court of the Durrani Emirate of Afghanistan in 1839
Emir (/əˈmɪər, eɪˈmɪər, ˈeɪmɪər/; Arabic: ‫ أمير‬ʾamīr [ʔaˈmiːr] (listenⓘ), sometimes transliterated
amir, amier, or ameer, is a word of Arabic origin that can refer to a male monarch,
aristocrat, holder of high-ranking military or political office, or other person possessing actual
or ceremonial authority. The title has a long history of use in the Arab World, East Africa,
West Africa, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. In the modern era, when used as a
formal monarchical title, it is roughly synonymous with "prince", applicable both to a son of
a hereditary monarch, and to a reigning monarch of a sovereign principality, namely an
emirate. The feminine form is emira (‫ أميرة‬ʾamīrah), a cognate for "princess". Prior to its use
as a monarchical title, the term "emir" was historically used to denote a "commander",
"general", or "leader" (for example, Amir al-Mu'min). In contemporary usage, "emir" is also
sometimes used as either an honorary or formal title for the head of an Islamic, or Arab
(regardless of religion) organisation or movement.
Qatar and Kuwait are the only independent countries which retain the title "emir" for their
monarchs. In recent years, the title has been gradually replaced by "king" by contemporary
hereditary rulers who wish to emphasize their secular authority under the rule of law. A
notable example is Bahrain, whose monarch changed his title from emir to king in 2002.[1]
Origins
Amir, meaning "lord" or "commander-in-chief", is derived from the Arabic root a-m-r,
"command". Originally simply meaning "commander", it came to be used as a title of leaders,
governors, or rulers of smaller states. In modern Arabic the word is analogous to the title
"Prince". The word entered English in 1593, from the French émir.[2] It was one of the titles
or names of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[citation needed]

The caliphs first used the title Amir al-Muminin or "Commander of the Faithful",
stressing their leadership over the Islamic empire, especially over the militia. The title
has been assumed by various other Muslim rulers, including sultans and emirs. For
Shia Muslims, they still give this title to the Caliph Ali as Amir al-Muminin.
The Abbasid (in theory still universal) Caliph Al-Radi created the post of Amir alUmara ("Amir of the Amirs") for Ibn Raik; the title was used in various Islamic
monarchies; see below for military use. In Iraq, the direct descendants of previous
Emirs from the largest tribes who ruled the kingdoms before modern statehood, use
the title of Sheikh or Prince as the progeny of royalty.[9][10]
Formerly in Lebanon, the ruling emir formally used the style al-Amir al-Hakim,
specifying it was still the ruler's title. The title was held by Druze and Christians as
well.[citation needed]
The word emir is also used less formally for leaders in certain contexts. For example,
the leader of a group of pilgrims to Mecca is called an emir hadji, a title sometimes
used by ruling princes (as a mark of Muslim piety) which is sometimes awarded in
their name. Where an adjectival form is necessary, "emiral" suffices.[citation needed]
Amirzade, the son (hence the Persian patronymic suffix -zade) of a prince, hence the
Persian princely title mirza.
The traditional rulers of the predominantly Muslim northern regions of Nigeria are
known as emirs, while the titular sovereign of their now defunct empire is formally
styled as the Sultan of Sokoto, Amir-al-Muminin (or Sarkin Musulmi in the Hausa
language).[citation needed]
The temporal leader of the Yazidi people is known as an emir or prince.[citation needed]
Afghanistan under the government of the Taliban is officially an emirate, with the
leader of the Taliban bearing the title Amir al-Mu'minin.
Amīr al-Baḥr (‫أمير البحر‬, "commander of the sea") is considered to be the etymological
origin of the English admiral, the French amiral and similar terms in other European
languages.
Military ranks and titles
See also: Amir (Iranian Army)
From the start, emir has been a military title. In the 9th century the term was used to denote a
ruler of a state i.e. Italy's Emirate of Sicily.
In certain decimally-organized Muslim armies, Amir was an officer rank. For example, in
Mughal India, the Amirs commanded 1000 horsemen (divided into ten units, each under a
sipah salar), ten of them under one malik. In the imperial army of Qajar Persia:



Amir-i-Nuyan
Amir Panj, "Commander of 5,000"
Amir-i-Tuman, "Commander of 10,000"
The following posts referred to "amir" under medieval Muslim states include:



Amir al-umara, "Amir of Amirs" (cfr. supra) or 'Commander of Commanders'
Amir al-hajj, "Commander of the Hajj [caravan]"
Amir al-ʿarab, "Commander of the Arabs [Bedouin tribes]"
In the former Kingdom of Afghanistan, Amir-i-Kabir was a title meaning "great prince" or
"great commander".
Muhammad Amin Bughra, Nur Ahmad Jan Bughra, and Abdullah Bughra declared
themselves emirs of the First East Turkestan Republic.

Amir is a masculine name in the Persian language and a prefix name for many
masculine names such as Amir Ali, Amir Abbas.
Amir-i-Iel designates the head of an Il (tribe) in imperial Persia.
The masculine Amir and feminine Amira are Arabic-language names common among
both Arabs regardless of religion and Muslims regardless of ethnicity, much as Latin
Rex and Regina ("king" and "queen", respectively) are common in the Western world.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the female name Emira, often interpreted as "princess", is
a derivative of the male name Emir.
The masculine Amir and feminine Amira are Hebrew-language names that are
relatively common in Israel. In Hebrew the word can also mean "bundle of grain" or
"treetop" depending on the spelling.
