In zeitgenössischen Texten ist sie nicht erwähnt. Herkunft und Geburtsort sind unbekannt. In den später verfassten Legenden wird sie auch „Hayme Ana“ und „Halime Hatun“ genannt. Hayme Ana ist aber auch der Name von Ertuğruls Mutter. Der Historiker Heath W. Lowry nennt Halime Hatun nicht als Mutter von Osman I. Ihre Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts durch Sultan Abdul Hamid II. angelegte Grabstätte befindet sich im Garten des Grabes von Ertuğrul Gazi in Söğüt.

However, here there must be some information mistakes. The name of the esteemed woman who was the wife of Ertuğrul Gâzi and mother of Osman Gâzi is “Hayme Ana”, and her grave is in the Çarşamba village of Kütahya’s Domaniç district. Sultan Abdülhamid II, who had the Ertuğrul Gâzi Tomb repaired, also had the Hayme Ana Tomb as good as rebuilt in the same years. Therefore, the grave in Söğüt said to be of Halime Hâtûn, must belong to another deceased.”
