Ertuğrul is the correct spelling. It is the name of a
13th-century bey who was the father of Osman I,
the founder of the Ottoman Empire. Ertuğrul is often referred to as a Ghazi,
a heroic champion fighter for the cause of Islam.
The name Ertuğrul is derived from the Turkish words "er",
meaning "man", and "tuğrul",
meaning "falcon". It is thought to have been given to him because
of his bravery and strength.
Ertuğrul was born in the 1220s in Central Asia. He was the son of Suleyman Shah,
the leader of the Kayı tribe of the Oghuz Turks. In the early 13th century,
the Kayı tribe migrated to Anatolia to escape the Mongol conquests.
Ertuğrul became the leader of the tribe after his father's death in 1281.
Ertuğrul was a skilled warrior and diplomat. He fought against the Byzantines
and the Mongols, and he also established good relations with the Seljuk Turks.
He is credited with helping to lay the foundations of the Ottoman Empire.
Ertuğrul's life and legacy have been the subject of many works of art and literature,
including the Turkish historical fiction television series Diriliş: Ertuğrul.
The series, which aired from 2014 to 2019,
was a huge success in Turkey and around the world.
It helped to popularize Ertuğrul's story and to inspire people of all faiths.
