- Bey and Pasha are titles carried by Muslims dating back to the Ottoman Empire and still in use in modern times. Pasha is equivalent to Lord and is conferred on senior civil officials and military officers. Bey is a title junior to Pasha, similar to Sir, and can be either conferred on a civil or military official, or as a curtsey title for the son of a Pasha.
