Its funny how nearly all 13th century Islamic rulers have "something al-deen" as part of their name.

Beys where governors of city's, Aga's where people who where rich (land owners) and where respected by the local people.

Titles.....
There were very very very Many titles used by Islamic Kingdoms
I know few, such as:
-Atabeg (Same as Baron or Duke), remember Atabegs of Mosuls (Imad Ad-Din Zengi and Nur ed-Din ). Used by the Seljuqs.
-Master of Stables (If I don't forgot, it was same as Commander of the army ), used by nearly all Islamic Kingdoms.
-Wazir (Prime Minister)
-Grand Vizier of the Palace (Warder of Palace or what... I quite forgot this one)
-Emir (Same as Atabeg but same as Governor or even sometimes King)
-Sultan (As you said.. Cyrus Shahmiri,)
-Sheikh (usually this one for Religious things...)
-Imam ( ahh.. Same as Sheikh)
*Note:Shias sometimes titled a Caliph (Usually Fatimids) as their Imam*
And Many More... as I said in the beginning
