Chingiz, a masculine given name, is the Turkic-Russian form of the Mongolian title Chinggis borne by the 13th-century conqueror.

As a modern given name, it is commonly interpreted to mean "mighty," "true," or "oceanic/universal".

Chingiz entered widespread personal use across Central Asia and the Caucasus, especially among Azeris, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Tatars, and Bashkirs, via Russian Chingiz (Чингиз) and local Turkic spellings. It saw renewed visibility in the 20th century and after the Soviet period, and is borne by the Kyrgyz novelist Chyngyz Aitmatov and Azerbaijani singer Chingiz Mustafayev. Variants include Chingis, Chinghiz, Chinggis (scholarly Mongolian), Chyngyz (Kyrgyz), Cengiz (Turkish), and the English form Genghis. The name carries connotations of steppe heritage, ambition, and charismatic leadership.
