A`yân (English spelling)
In Islamic history, it refers to a central figure, or notable, of a certain dynasty, region, city, or group. In particular, in the Ottoman Empire from the mid-18th century onwards, it refers to local notables who became wealthy through the management of cihtrikis (large farms) and tax collection contracts (irtizam) and took control of administrative affairs at the district (kaza) level. The word originates from an Arabic plural form meaning "eye."
