“chief; a man of standing”

What does Ağaner mean?
Chief; a man of standing
In Turkish: ağa; ileri gelen erkek
Ağaner can be read as a name combining a title with er, the Turkish word for a man. This interpretation suggests standing and respect within a community. Its transparent components, however, do not by themselves establish the name’s history or the intention behind its formation.
In Alper and Caner, er is a Turkish component meaning “man” or “brave man.” In other names, such as Ömer, the final letters do not form that component. More boy names ending in -er →
