What does Şahiner mean?
A man or warrior likened to a hawk
In Turkish: şahin gibi er, yiğit
Şahiner combines the bird imagery of Şahin with er, man or warrior. Turkish compounds of this kind place an image from nature beside a human term; the result is a poetic comparison, rather than the name of a particular historical office or title.
In Alper and Caner, er is a Turkish component meaning “man” or “brave man.” In other names, such as Ömer, the final letters do not form that component. More boy names ending in -er →
