Origin:
The term "khedive" was originally a Persian title meaning "lord" or "master." It was adopted by the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century to refer to the governors of Egypt and the Sudan.
In 1867, the Ottoman sultan granted Egypt's governor, Ismail Pasha, the hereditary title of khedive. This elevated Egypt's status and gave the khedive greater autonomy in governing the province.
The khedival dynasty ruled Egypt until 1952, when the monarchy was abolished and Egypt became a republic.
