বেগম

Borrowed from Classical Persian بیگم‎ (bēgam), feminine form of بگ‎ (beyg, “chief”), from Ottoman Turkish بك‎ (beg), from Old Anatolian Turkish [script needed] (beg, “ruler”) from Old Turkic 𐰋𐰏‎ (beg, “chief”), from Proto-Turkic *bēg. Cognate with Karakhanid باكْ‎ (bēg, “chief, a woman's husband”) and Old Uyghur [script needed] (beg, “lord, chief”).
