History knows Hürrem by many names. She was born Aleksandra, but among the Ottomans she was called Roxelana, the Ruthenian one, a nickname referring to her Rusyn (Ukrainian) heritage.
She soon caught Suleiman’s attention and became one of his favourite consorts. He named her Hürrem, meaning the cheerful one.
You may also see her called Hürrem Haseki Sultan. She was the first to bear the title of Haseki Sultan, meaning chief consort or single favourite of the sultan.
And thus, one of the greatest romances in history begins…
