“Sovereign of reach and power”
Erimşah means “sovereign of reach and power.” It combines Turkish erim, meaning reach, range, power or capacity, with Persian şāh, meaning ruler.

What does Erimşah mean?
Sovereign of reach and power
In Turkish: Erişimin ve gücün hükümdarı
Erimşah combines the idea of reach or capability with the image of sovereignty. Because erim can describe both a physical range and the capacity to accomplish something, the name allows several closely related readings. Şah adds the elevated royal imagery also encountered in names such as Şahinşah and Erşah.
Origin of the name Erimşah
It can be interpreted as a compound of Turkish erim, “reach, range; capacity, power,” and Persian shāh, “sovereign.” It is uncertain which sense of erim was specifically intended.
