Aybars is a Turkish forename meaning either "gray/yellow leopard" or "leopard of the moon", related to Turkic mythology. The stem of the name comes from "ay" ('moon' in Turkic) and "bars" ('leopard' in Turkic). However, according to Pritsak and Nişanyan, the first word is "oy" rather than "ay", which means 'gray' or 'yellow' or 'brown', hence the meaning of the name is 'yellow/gray/brown leopard', referencing to lion.
