Etymology of TAMARLAYN

The word "Tamarlayn" is actually a variation or misspelling of "Tamerlane". The term Tamerlane, or Timur the Lame, refers to the historical figure Timur, who was a Central Asian conqueror and founder of the Timurid Empire in the late 14th century.

The etymology of the name "Tamerlane", in turn, comes from the Turkish word "temür" meaning "iron", and the Mongolian word "lan" meaning "lame" or "lame leg". As Timur was reputed to have had a limp or a partially paralyzed leg due to a war injury, he was known as "Timur-i Lang" in Persian, which translates to "Timur the Lame". Over time, this name evolved into "Tamerlane" in English.
