#ahdname
- Ahdname — An archaic graphic and phonetic form (attested in old Romanian chronicles) for ahdiname; an official diplomatic treaty, solemn charter, or imperial decree through which the sultans of the Ottoman Empire granted specific legal privileges, structural autonomy, protection, or commercial freedoms to vassal states (such as the Romanian Principalities) or Christian subjects. These documents established the legal framework for bilateral relations and represented a sacred imperial guarantee.
- Ahdname — A phonetic and structural variant with feminine inflection for the term ahtinam (ahdiname). Used by some Moldavian and Wallachian chroniclers (such as Ion Neculce) to designate the official diplomatic document through which the Ottoman Porte established the peace and privileges of a country, the linguistic form reflecting the popular adaptation of the Eastern ending.
