Temur

Temur is a very rare and ancient Mongolian name that dates back over 2000 years. It means “iron” and is predominantly a name given to boys. It symbolizes strength and courage. The greatest conqueror of all time was Genghis Khan, which means “universal ruler” in Mongolian. Genghis Khan is not a name but a title that was given to him after he became supreme ruler of the world. He went on to conquer 1/4 of the Earth’s land and that took him only 20 years to accomplish. His birth name was actually Temujin, which means “iron man”. Temujin (iron man) is a derivative of the name Temur (iron). There are several spelling versions of the name Temur such as Timur, Taimur, and Tehmur. The great Khan’s empire was so vast and he impregnated so many women that 1 out of 200 men is his direct descendant, and this is why it’s very common to see the name Temur in places like the middle east, eastern Europe, and central Asia. So you will see a lot of Russians or Turkish people with the name Temur, but do be aware that this name originated in Mongolia and became well known only because of Genghis Khan (Temujin). Overall Temur is a boy or man who is extremely tough, resilient and is the ultimate alpha male. He is someone who doesn’t quit or run away from his problems. He is also someone who is very pragmatic, cares about his legacy, and has ethics, vision, integrity, and strong leadership skills. This name is pronounced “Tee more”.
