Meaning & usage
a male given name from West Circassian, popular among Circassians in Turkey.
Where this word comes from
From West Circassian Аслъэнгьэрый (Aslˢɛngʲɛrəj) or East Circassian Аслъэнджэрий (Aslˢɛndžɛrij). The name is composed of аслъэн (aslˢɛn, “lion”) (ultimately of Turkic origin) and the Circassian dialectal suffix гьэрый (gʲɛrəj). This suffix is an appropriation of the Crimean Tatar dynastic name Giray (which was heavily assimilated into Circassian nobility). It fits well with the Turkish form of Giray but is entirely unrelated to the Turkish word geri (“backwards”). Although it contains Turkic elements, it is unique to Circassians within this cultural context and came to Turkey from Circassia. Like many traditional Circassian names, it is losing popularity in Turkey due to assimilation and Turkification.
