Iltutmish is Persian in Origin.
Iltutmish is a medieval Turkic masculine name, recorded in Persian and Arabic histories of the Delhi Sultanate as Iltutmish and reflecting Turkic İltutmuş. Its elements are il, country, realm, or people, and tutmuş, the perfect participle of tut-, to hold or seize. The literal sense is he has held the realm, later paraphrased in Persianate usage as holder of the kingdom.
Its historical visibility rests mainly on Shams al-Din Iltutmish, the thirteenth-century Mamluk sultan of Delhi, who ruled from 1211 to 1236 and consolidated a Ghurid military inheritance into a durable sultanate. Chroniclers working in Persian helped fix the form in South Asian Muslim historiography. Altamash and Altamish appear as later spellings or assimilated forms. As a given name it remains uncommon, used chiefly with reference to the Delhi ruler.
