What does Altuner mean?
A man as precious as gold
In Turkish: altın gibi değerli er
Altuner figuratively connects the value of gold with er, meaning a man or soldier. Altun survives in older texts and in some present-day names. Altuner and Altıner combine the same elements using different vowel forms. Although closely related in meaning, their spellings should remain separate in a dictionary and in personal records.
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 →
