Meaning

a Tuvan name with roots in the ancient Turkic vocabulary of the steppe, meaning brave or courageous in the face of hardship, a virtue prized above almost all others in the nomadic pastoral culture of Tuva where herders face harsh Siberian winters, dangerous river crossings, and the ever-present risks of the taiga and mountain terrain; courage in Tuvan culture is not merely martial but encompasses the daily bravery of the herdsman who rises before dawn in temperatures of minus forty degrees to tend his animals, the shaman who travels to the spirit world on behalf of the community at great personal risk, and the singer who masters the difficult technique of khoomei throat singing, pushing the human voice beyond its apparent limits; Ergi is a name that sets a high standard for its bearer from the moment of naming
