It is known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English language edition (1706), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights' Entertainment.The first story of the ruler Schahriar (from Persian: Ř´ŮŘąŮاعâ, meaning "king" or "sovereign") and his wife Scheherazade (from Persian: Ř´Ůعزادâ, possibly meaning "of noble lineage) works as a framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves.
