Er-Targyn

Meaning: brave Targyn

Origin: Kypchak

Er-Targyn joins er, 'man' or 'hero' — shared with Erasyl and Erlan — with Targyn, a personal name whose own deeper meaning isn't clearly documented. It's the name of the hero of Er Targyn, one of the classical Kazakh heroic epics, a warrior-poet's tale believed to date to around the 16th century.
