Little is known of Nigar’s early life. The Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun binti Abdullah Vehbi (Daughter of Abdullah Vehbi). On her tomb in Antalya she is described as Hātun binti Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah) which means that her father was possibly a Christian who converted to Islam.[1][3][4] When Bayezid was still a şehzade ("Ottoman prince") and the governor of Amasya sanjak when she gave birth to Fatma Sultan, followed by the birth of Ayşe Sultan in 1465 and Şehzade Korkut in 1467.[1]
