Aga

/ˈɑːɡə/ noun

A type of heat-storage stove or range, or historically, a high-ranking Ottoman military commander.

Two distinct origins: the cooking range comes from the Swedish company name 'Aktiebolaget Gas Accumulator' (1929), while the military title comes from Turkish ağa meaning 'chief, lord', from Old Turkic aqa meaning 'elder brother'.
