Usually, only male progeny may succeed as a Sultan. However, a female may succeed as a Sultan or called Sultana only when there is no other male progeny to succeed. Whenever, a male progeny be available from the Royal bloodline, then he may succeed and the Sultana may abdicate. One such female was the progeny of Maguindanao-Mindanao Royalty, Sultana Nur Azam who succeeded as Sulu Sultan in the 1500 hundredths.
The feminine form of "sultan" is "sultana." This term is often used to refer to the wife or female counterpart of a sultan, but it can also denote a female ruler in her own right in some historical contexts. The usage and implications can vary by region and culture.
