The term 'Turkish Titles (Var.)' refers to two titles of nobility in the Ottoman Empire, Aghas and Pachas. Aghas were lower-ranking officers in the Ottoman military, while Pachas were higher-ranking officers. Both titles were hereditary and conferred upon members of the military or civil service. The title of Agha was usually given to a commander of a regiment or a cavalry unit, while the title of Pacha was given to a commander of a division or a corps.
