What does Öztimur mean?
True iron; pure iron
In Turkish: öz demir; gerçek, saf demir
Öztimur reinforces the iron imagery of Timur with the element öz. Iron is a concrete material that readily suggests solidity and endurance in personal names. Timur also recalls the historical ruler, but the compound Öztimur should not itself be treated as the documented name of that ruler.
Origin of the name Öztimur
