Etymology

[edit]

The etymon is likely Old Turkic 𐰉𐱃𐰆𐰺 (b¹t¹ur¹ /⁠batur⁠/), cognates include Middle Mongol ᠪᠠᠭᠠᠲᠤᠷ (baɣatur), (contemporary Mongolian баатар (baatar)). The ultimate source is uncertain, as cognates are found in Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, Iranic ( Persian بهادر ) sources and, possibly, Avestan sources.
