See the article on his father[edit]

See our article on Yirmisekiz Mehmed Çelebi, the father of Mehmed Said Pasha. It has some material that could be reused. The explanation of the son's name is given there:

Mehmed Çelebi himself was enrolled in the Janissary corps, and since he had served in the 28th battalion ("orta" in Janissary terminology) of the corps, he came to be known with the nickname "Yirmisekiz" (twenty-eight in Turkish) for his entire life. His descendants, including a son who became a grand vizier, also carried the name in the form of "Yirmisekizzade" (son of twenty-eight).
