What Urmat means
Where Urmat comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Urmat belongs to the Kyrgyz, and it means respect, veneration. The word reached the name by a long road. Kyrgyz took urmat from Persian hurmat, and Persian had taken it from the Arabic root ح-ر-م. That same root gave Arabic ḥurma, a sense of what is sacred and inviolable. From that the Kyrgyz kept the side of deference and honour, and made it a name for a man.
On a Polish class register the name would stand out, short and unfamiliar next to Kacper and Piotr. There is no Polish source for it and no name-day in the calendar. The meaning stays close to the surface. To read urmat is to read the plain word for respect.
The records show no diminutives and no variant forms. What remains is the sense of the root: respect, veneration.
