What does Kızılarslan mean?
Red or reddish lion
In Turkish: kızıl renkli aslan
Kızılarslan combines a color term with the lion's image of strength. The Eldiguzid ruler Qizil Arslan supplies a notable historical association. The name shares its second element with Kılıçarslan and Alparslan; the color word in this historical compound should not automatically receive a modern political interpretation.
