Turkish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Old Turkic [script needed] (amran-, to love, desire). Also related to Old Turkic [script needed] (amrıl-, to be quiet), [script needed] (amul, gentle, quiet), derived from Proto-Turkic *ăm-. The verb Turkish imrenmek (to love, desire/to feel a longing) has been based on a same origin.[1] Turkic Khagan Amrak is the oldest known bearer of this name. Yunus Emre, Tapduk Emre and similar Old Turkish bards/folk poets have used the "Emre" as nickname or title. Altaicists compare to Mongolian амар (amar, rest, bliss).[2]
