  • ʿAbdü'l-Mecîd-i evvel

  • ʿAbdü'l-Mecîd-i üçüncü

  • ʿAbdü'l-Mecîd-i dördüncü

Answer

ʿAbdü'l-Mecîd-i sânî was the title of Abdulmejid II in Ottoman Turkish. "Sânî" means "second" in Ottoman Turkish, indicating that he was the second ruler with the name Abdulmejid. This title distinguished him from his predecessor, Abdulmejid I, who reigned from 1839 to 1861. The use of such titles was common in the Ottoman Empire to differentiate between rulers with the same name.
