What does Ekmeleddin mean?
The most perfect in religion
In Turkish: dinin en olgunu, en yetkini
Ekmeleddin belongs to an older tradition of honorific names built around the word for religion. Names such as Nureddin and Fahreddin attach other qualities to the same concept; here the emphasis is completeness and maturity, rather than the designation of a formal religious office.
The final sound in has no single shared meaning across these names. Emin, Şahin and Engin must be understood as whole names, not through their last letters alone. More boy names ending in -in →
