Dean Mahomed

Indian traveller, surgeon and entrepreneur

Dean Mahomed (May 1759 – 24 February 1851) was a British Indian traveller, soldier, surgeon, entrepreneur, and one of the most notable early non-European immigrants to the Western World. Due to non-standard transliteration, his name is spelled in various ways. His high social status meant that he later adopted the honorific "Sake" (Sheikh) meaning "venerable one".
