Questions

About these boy names

How many boy names are on TurkicNames?

820 published names are listed on this page. 510 have a meaning backed by a cited source (Documented), 310 are Likely, and 0 come from our own editorial research. Use the meaning label filter to see only one group.

Which languages contribute the most boy names?

Kazakh (390), Turkish (372), and Uyghur (168) lead the list. A name counts for a language only when our data records it for that language, so a name used in several languages is counted once for each.

Can a boy's name here also be used for the other gender?

Yes, sometimes. Names marked Unisex are included in this list because they are recorded for both genders in at least one language. 626 names on this page are recorded for one language only, and 194 for two or more; the language table on each name page shows the gender per language.

What do boy names here most often mean?

By documented meaning theme, the biggest groups are leadership and nobility (30), moon (15), and strength and courage (14). Themes come from the meaning of each name as recorded on its page, never from how a name looks or sounds.

Which origins appear most often?

Our origin rows show Arabic (346), Turkic (275), and Persian (166) most often. Origin describes where the name's parts come from, not which people use it, so an Arabic name can be thoroughly Turkic in everyday use.
