Beyazıt (name)

Beyazıt is a Turkish given name for males. It is also used as a surname. The name is of Ottoman Turkish origin and refers to Sultan Bayezid I and Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire. "Beyaz" translates to "white" in Turkish and "Yıt" can be loosely translated to "destroyer" or "victor" depending on the context, or it may be interpreted as a derivative. Thus, the name can be interpreted as "White Victory" or "White Conqueror." It is a relatively common name in Turkey and among Turkish diaspora communities.
