Osmanli "an Ottoman Turk," 1813, from Turk. Osmanli "of or pertaining to Osman," from Osman, founder of the Ottoman dynasty (he reigned 1259-1326); his name is the Turk. pronunciation of Ar. Uthman. This is the native word where Eng. generally uses Ottoman.

I checked to see if the item of furniture of the same name was related, but apparantly it has more of a Greek/French history.
