The
Osmanli Tribe was a turkish tribe in western
Anatolia that existed by that name a short period in the
14th century. Before the
1330s it was known as the
Söğüt tribe and in
1383 it became the
Ottoman Empire.
Orhan I renamed the
Söğüt tribe
Osmanli in honour of his father
Osman who made the tribe supreme among the turkish tribes in
Anatolia.
