Yavuz is a common masculine Turkish given name and in Turkish, "Yavuz" means "inflexible", "resolute" and "ferocious".

Etymology

[edit]

Old Turkic intervocalic or stem-final b, represented by bilabial w in Karakhanid and Khorezmian Turkic, is changed to v. Thus Yavuz comes from Old Turkic: yabïz (𐰖𐰉𐰕), Old Uyghur: yabīz or yawīz, Khorerzmian: yawuz meaning "bad, vile".[1]
