I'm researching about Ghengis Khan. And I see there are many different explains for their name.

Temujin: there are two explain, first is when Temujin defeat a Tartar Chief have name Temujin, he respect Temujin's brave and give that name to his son Second is Temujin's family have as least one person become a skill blacksmith with "temur" is mean iron or blacksmith. Which is right?

Ghengis Khan: the original pronoun from Mongolian is Tenggis Khan with Khan is king and Tenggis is mean huge lake or ocean; the other is Chinggis Khan with Chinggis is brave, strong. Which is right?

Can someone help me? Special from Mongolian and from Mongolian records Sleepy

I thought Ghengis Khan meant 'Great king' or 'king of the world'.

A great king is both brave and strong. He is also powerful like an ocean

Temujin=Tumurchin (Blacksmith), Tatar Chief's name.
Chinges=Tengis or Dalai (Ocean)

Temujin doesn't mean tomorchin (blacksmith). Any professional name shouldn't given to King's family member. Temujin was a name of Tatar tribe's Leader who had lost in the battle against Chinggis khan's father Yesukhey and executed.

His name has no relationships with Dengiz(Dalay=lake/sea) or Temur(Iron). These interpretations are all erroneous.

I agree with Paul Ratchnevsky's theory that Yesukei was probably a blacksmith and picked the name Temujin because iron was a holy substance to him. The proof of this is the fact that he also named two more of his children after iron (Temuge and Temulun).

Temujin may have used his name to boost his credibility, like American presidents who claimed to be born in a log cabin. As a blacksmith's son he would be a man of the people who reached the top through talent

Ghengis Khan was named Temujin at birth, but when he became "The Great Khan" of the Mongols he took the name Ghengis Khan, which, I think, means Great Khan. I don't know of any connection to blacksmiths, as he certainly wasn't one.
