The name Tengiz is a boy's name meaning "sea, ocean".

Derived from a now obsolete Turkic-Mongol language, Tengiz is both an ocean-inspired choice and a place name, appearing on the map in Kazakhstan and Mongolia (as Tengis). Notable bearers include Georgian politician Tengiz Sigua and film director Tengiz Abuladze. Predominantly used as a masculine name, it is very occasionally given to girls.
