The word Ottoman is a historical anglicisation of the name of Osman I, the founder of the Empire and of the ruling House of Osman (also known as the Ottoman dynasty). Osman's name in turn was the Turkish form of the Arabic name ʿUthmān (عثمان‎). In Ottoman Turkish, the empire was referred to as Devlet-i ʿAlīye-yi ʿOsmānīye (دولت عليه عثمانیه‎),^[30] (literally "The Supreme Ottoman State") or alternatively ʿOsmānlı Devleti (عثمانلى دولتى‎). In Modern Turkish, it is known as Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ("The Ottoman Empire") or Osmanlı Devleti ("The Ottoman State").[WP]

In 1516, the Berber amir of Algiers, Sālim al-Tūmī, invited the Ottoman corsair brothers Oruç and Hayreddin Barbarossa to expel the Spaniards who had fortified the island in the bay. Oruç, with the help of Ottoman troops, came to Algiers, ordered the assassination of the bey Sālim, on the grounds that Salim was conspiring with the Spaniards against the pirates .

The corsairs then seized the town. Spanish expeditions were sent to take over the city, first in 1516 under Don Diego de Vera, and then in 1519 under Don Ugo de Moncada, but both expeditions ended in failure

When Suleiman the Magnificent declared war on Ferdinand of Habsburg in January 1529, he also wished to go on the offensive in the western Mediterranean, and therefore chose to renew Ottoman support to Barbarossa.

Barbarossa received from the Ottoman Empire 2,000 janissaries, artillery, and important financial support.^[4] Through bribery Barbarossa first obtained a change in the allegiance of the supporters of the Algiers sheikh.After taking power in the city, Barbarossa then started to lay siege to El Peñón de Argel, the Spanish fortress at the entrance of the harbour. After 22 days enduring artillery fire, the Spanish under Governor Don Martin de Vargas finally surrendered on 29 May 1529, with only 25 men left and without having received help from the Spanish mainlan. Vargas was cudgelled to death, the fortress was dismantled, and the stonework used to build a seawall using Christian slaves as manpower.^[
