Sezer is Turkish in Origin.

Sezer is a modern Turkish given name and surname, formed from the verb sezmek “to sense, perceive, intuit” plus the agentive suffix -er. It therefore means “one who senses,” “perceptive,” or “intuitive.” The name is used for both genders in Turkey, though it is more common for men, and appears among Turkish communities abroad.

Use expanded in the early Republican era, when names with clear Turkic roots were encouraged, and it stayed steadily familiar through the late 20th century. A prominent bearer is Ahmet Necdet Sezer, the 10th President of Turkey, which helped solidify public recognition. Spelling is stable and lacks diacritics; diminutives are informal. Related forms from the same root include Sezen, Sezgin, and Sezin. Note that Sezer is distinct from Sezar, the Turkish form of “Caesar”; despite similar sound, they are etymologically unrelated.
