Barlas is of Turkish origin and means "young tiger". It's composed of two elements, "bal" meaning strength and "lar" meaning man or hero. This name was popularized by Barlas Ghazi, a prominent Oghuz Turkic leader who played a significant role in the foundation of the Ottoman Empire. In Turkey today, Barlas is considered an attractive yet uncommon choice for baby boys.
