What does Gültigin mean?
Possibly a form of the name Kül Tigin
In Turkish: muhtemelen Kül Tigin adının bir biçimi
The spelling Gültigin suggests the historical name Kül Tigin, although that connection needs confirmation for this particular form. Kül Tigin was a major Göktürk commander commemorated by an inscription. Tigin is a historical title; the initial syllable should not automatically be interpreted as Persian gül, rose.
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 →
