Ismihan Kaya Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: کایا سلطان, "purity of the Khan" or "highness of the Khan" and "chastity"; c. 1630/1633 – 28 February 1658[2]) was an Ottoman princess. She was the daughter of Ottoman sultan Murad IV.[3] The famed Ottoman traveler Evliya Çelebi noted a specific encounter with Kaya Sultan in his Book of Travels. An entire chapter of the book is dedicated to Kaya Sultan, from her pregnancy to her death. She was the most famous child of Murad IV and the favorite granddaughter of Kösem Sultan.
