About Suleyman Shah



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suleyman_Shah

Names: Suleyman Shah bin Kaya Alp

Suleyman Shah (Ottoman Turkish: سلیمان شاه; Modern Turkish: Süleyman Şah) was, according to Ottoman tradition, the son of Kaya Alp and the father of Ertuğrul, who was the father of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire.[1] Early Ottoman genealogies disputed this lineage, and either Suleyman Shah or Gündüz Alp could be Osman's grandfather and the father of Ertuğrul. An Ottoman tomb initially in or near Qal'at Ja'bar has historically been associated with Suleyman Shah.[2]

While some Ottoman historians claim that he is Süleyman Shah, others claim it is Gündüz Alp. Both arguments are most likely true as the first name is an Arabic name and the latter is a Turkic name….”
