▪ »Khedive (mPers ḫidev, nPers ḫediv, Ott hidiv, hıdīv, Ar ḫidīw[ī]) ‘great prince, ruler, master, sovereign’ was a Persian honourific title of sultans and grand viziers in Ottoman Turkish correspondence and poetry, and the imperial rank of the Ottoman governor of Egypt between 1867 and 1914. By the end of the nineteenth century, it was used in the sense of ‘viceroy of Egypt’ in Arabic, French, English, and other languages. / ḫediv in nPers possibly derives from ClassPers ḫudā-var ‘god-like’, that is, ‘ruler’« – A. Mestyan, art. »Khedive«, in ³EI (2020).
