#grandiose delusion

• Abderaman - An eponym derived from the name of Caliph Abd ar-Rahman, used historically in early European and Romanian medical literature to describe a specific type of grandiose delusion with a mystic-exotic theme or religious monomania. In 19th-century psychiatric semiology, the term identified patients who assumed imperial or oriental caliphal identities during psychotic or manic episodes, studied within classic alienism.
• Abdul - A cultural and historical eponym originating from an oriental proper name, sporadically used in early European and Romanian psychiatric semiology to describe a specific form of grandiose delusion with an exotic theme (Abdul delusion). In 19th-century insane asylums, the term characterized patients exhibiting mystic or political monomania, claiming to be sultans, oriental rulers, or Asian divinities, studied within classic eponymic psychoses.
• Abdulah - An archaic orthographic variant of the eponym 'Abdul' or 'Abdullah', rarely used in 19th-century medical-legal reports and clinical charts within early Romanian asylums. In the context of classic alienism, the term served as a generic semiotic descriptor to categorize manifestations of religious monomania or exotic grandiose delusion, where the patient identified himself as a prophet, caliph, or prince from oriental dynasties.
• Abdullah - A historical eponym derived from oriental dynastic or religious onomastics, used in 19th-century European and Romanian psychiatry. In classic alienist classifications by Esquirol and Baillarger, the term served to illustrate a specific type of mystic-exotic monomania or grandiose delusion, describing patients with severe psychotic or manic episodes who declared themselves absolute oriental sovereigns, blending ideas of secular power with religious infallibility.
