Amir Timur

Timur literally meant Iron in Chagatai Turkish. Ottoman historians called Timur Timurlenk due to hisdisability in his foot. Timurlenk meant Timur the lame and this passed to other languages in such forms as

Tamarlane, Tamerlan, Tamerlanos, Tamerlanes etc. Main motive of the Ottoman historians to call

him by his disability was to insult him. It is not acceptable to use this name containing an insult to one of

the greatest Turkish conquerors of history. We do need to show proper respect and call him Timur, Amir

Timur, Timur Gurgan or Demir
