Türkmen means – "made from light, whose essence is light."

The Türkmen people has a great history which goes back to the Prophet Noah.

Prophet Noah gave the Türkmen lands to his son Yafes and his descendants.

Allah made the Türkmens prolific and their numbers greatly increased. God gave them two special qualities: spiritual richness and courage. As a light for their road, God also strengthened their spiritual and mental capacity with the ability to recognize the realities behind events. After that He gave His servants the following general name: TÜRK İMAN. türk means core, iman means light. Therefore, TÜRK İMAN, namely Türkmen means “made from light, whose essence is light.” The Türkmen name came to this world in this way.
