What does Yağıztekin mean?
Dark-complexioned prince or noble
In Turkish: yağız prens; koyu tenli soylu
Under this analysis, Yağıztekin joins a color description to a historical dynastic title. The princely interpretation of Tekin depends on its connection with Old Turkic tigin. Turkish also has a separate adjective tekin, so the intended interpretation of the second element should be checked against the name's source record.
