"Al-Damad" Ahmad Nami or "Damat" Ahmet Nami (Arabic: أحمد نامي, romanized: Aḥmad Nāmī;‎ 1873 – 13 December 1962[1][2]) was an Ottoman prince (damat), the fifth prime minister of Syria and second president of Syria (1926–28), and a lecturer of history and politics.

By 1909, the family were forced into exile in France when Nami's father-in-law, the Sultan, was overthrown from his throne by the Young Turks.

[6] In July 1920, the French officers in the region delegated Nami to form a government in Syria and gave him limited presidential powers.

Nami sought to secure their release but was threatened by imprisonment, causing him to replace his cabinet with three pro-French politicians.

[6] Nami worked relentlessly against the establishment of a separate Lebanon and promoted the historical boundaries to preserve Syrian unity (the region of Syria).
