What does Tiğin mean?
Dynastic prince, male member of a ruling family
In Turkish: hanedan prensi, hükümdar ailesinden erkek
Tiğin illustrates the use of a historical dynastic title as a given name. It belongs to the same historical naming vocabulary as the spellings Tegin and Tigin. Names such as Kül Tegin demonstrate the title's early use; it did not broadly designate every ruler or warrior.
The final sound in has no single shared meaning across these names. Emin, Şahin and Engin must be understood as whole names, not through their last letters alone. More boy names ending in -in →
