What does Koşuktekin mean?
A name combining poetry and princely rank
In Turkish: şiir ve prenslik kavramlarını birleştiren ad
Koşuktekin appears to combine a word from the poetic tradition with an old dynastic title. The element Tekin can continue historical tegin in Turkish personal names. The structure is interpretable, but there is insufficient evidence to treat the complete compound as a historical name or assign it a fixed sentence-like meaning.
In names such as Alptekin, Aytekin and Tuğtekin, tekin is linked to the Old Turkic title tigin, meaning “prince.” More boy names ending in -tekin →
