The name Ögdülmiş is of Old Turkic origin, and it’s found in Turkic literature, notably in Kutadgu Bilig ("The Wisdom of Royal Glory"), a classic work by Yusuf Balasaghuni from the 11th century.
The name Ögdülmiş (sometimes spelled "Ogdulmish" or "Ugdulmish") translates to something akin to "praised" or "approved one" in English. The root of the name is "ögdü-" (or "ögdü") in Old Turkic, which means "to praise" or "to extol." The suffix "-lmish" is a participle form that implies something like "the one who has been praised" or "the one who is worthy of praise."
In Kutadgu Bilig, Ögdülmiş represents wisdom and knowledge, acting as a philosophical character who embodies these virtues.
