Tamur Origin and Meaning

The name Tamur is a boy's name.

Tamur is a masculine name with roots in Central Asian history and culture. It's a variant spelling of Timur (also spelled Temur or Temir), a name of Turkic and Mongolic origin meaning "iron." The name gained historical significance through Timur (Tamerlane), the 14th-century conqueror who founded the Timurid Empire. Tamur combines strength and historical depth with a relatively uncommon status in Western countries, making it distinctive while still being connected to rich cultural traditions. The name carries connotations of durability, strength, and resilience. While not among top-ranked names in most Western countries, it maintains popularity in parts of Central Asia, Turkey, and among families with connections to these regions.
