Naile Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: نائله سلطان; 30 September 1856 – 7 January 1882) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Sultan Abdulmejid I and Şayeste Hanım. She was the half-sister of Sultans Murad V, Abdul Hamid II, Mehmed V, and Mehmed VI.

Early life

Naile Sultan was born on 30 September 1856 in the Dolmabahçe Palace. Her father was Sultan Abdulmejid I, and her mother was Şayeste Hanım, a Circassian. Naile lost her father when she was five.

Marriage

In 1876, her mother arranged her marriage to Kabasakal Çerkes Mehmed Pasha, a relative of her and Shamil, 3rd Imam of Dagestan. The marriage took place on 6 October 1876, during the reign of her brother, Abdul Hamid II. Although Sultan Abdulaziz had ordered her trousseaux, he was completely unable to arrange marriage for her. The couple were given a waterfront palace known as "Esma Sultan Mansion", located near the Örtaköy Mosque, as their residence.

Death

Naile Sultan died on 7 January 1882 at the age of twenty five, and was buried in the mausoleum of new ladies in New Mosque, Istanbul. After her death Mehmed Pasha married Esma Sultan, daughter of Sultan Abdulaziz and Gevheri Kadın. The two moved in Naile Sultan's palace in which Mehmed Pasha and Naile previously lived. Her mother outlived her by thirty years, dying in 1912.
