The etymology of the name traces back to Turkic languages. A similar meaning is found in the name Toxhamish (Toktamish), which also means "wind" and was borne by a notable figure during the Golden Horde period. The word "Toktar" is derived from the root *tok- (Turk., Uzb. tuk-, Kaz. tuk-, Tart. tuk-) or *tok- (Kirg. tok-, Turkm. tok-), meaning "wind," "storm," or "gust." The name "Toktar" is not part of the ancient Hebrew, Latin, or Slavic languages. Its historical roots lie in the medieval Turkic states of Central Asia. Although specific information about the use of this exact variant in ancient times is limited, the name arrived in Rus' and other Slavic lands along with Islam and Turkic migrants from the following centuries, beginning roughly in the 17th-18th centuries.
