About the name Teoman
Teoman is a Turkish masculine name taken from Touman, the name of a chanyu, or ruler, of the Xiongnu, the steppe confederation north of ancient China. Touman was the father of Modu, known in Turkey as Mete Han, who overthrew him and built the Xiongnu empire. Turkish nationalist historiography of the twentieth century revived such names. The meaning of Touman is uncertain, and some connect it with Turkic tümen ‘ten thousand’. The Turkish rock musician Teoman is a well-known bearer.
