==In the 14th/20th century==
In the early 14th/20th century, the title, "ayatollah" was used for someone else for the first time: [[Mirza Husayn Nuri]] (b. [[1254]]/1836 - d. [[1320]]/1903) gave the title to [[al-Sayyid Muhammad Mahdi Bahr al-'Ulum]].  After a few decades, [[Shaykh 'Abbas Qummi]] used the title of "ayatollah" for [[al-Shaykh Murtada al-Ansari]], [[Shaykh Husayn Najaf]] and [[al-Sayyid Muhammad Hasan al-Shirazi]]. At the time of [[Mashruta]] (Persian Constitutional Revolution) (1905 - 1911), historians used the title for [[al-Akhund al-Khurasani]], [[Mirza Husayn Mirza Khalil]], [[Shaykh 'Abd Allah Mazandarani]] and others. Before this time, all [[marja']]s were officially referred to with the title [[hujjat al-Islam]].
