No. And you won't see it used in published material.

Start again. "Overman" is not the right term. "Full Man", "Complete Man", "Unified Man", "Master of All Skills", "Do-All Man", "Equal in all Arts", "Men of Merit", ... and of course, "Men of All".
That they are called Knight derives from the military role as elite troops (who ride horses, use sorcery, and generally are pretty awesome). But since the Seshnela also have elite heavy cavalry (not-spell casters but bolstered by their own wizards steeped in military grimoires), that term is not very useful to describe that Hrestoli caste.
