Tekiner follows the pattern of Turkish compound names formed with er. Reading the first element as tekin gives the name associations of safety, auspiciousness and well-being. It can be compared with Tekin and Ertekin, although the word tekin and the historical title tegin should not automatically be equated.
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 →
