izmet is Turkish in Origin.

Izmet is a modern spelling of the Turkish and Balkan given name İsmet (also Ismet), derived from Arabic ʿIsmat/Ismat (عِصْمَة), “chastity, purity, protection, moral integrity,” and in theological contexts “infallibility.” The name traveled widely through Ottoman influence and remains familiar among Turkish, Bosnian, Albanian, and other Muslim communities of the Balkans, as well as in Persian- and Urdu-speaking regions. It is typically masculine in Turkish and Balkan use but functions as a unisex name in Arabic and South Asian contexts.

Usage gained prominence in the late Ottoman and early Republican eras; the statesman İsmet İnönü helped cement its dignified, virtuous associations in Turkish. Common variants and transliterations include İsmet/Ismet, Ismat, Esmat/Esmat, and Asmat. Pronunciation varies by language: roughly IZ-met or ISS-met. The z in Izmet reflects a phonetic rendering; the standard Turkish form uses s (İsmet).
