From Turkish tuğ, the standard, the horse-tail banner that Ottoman sultans and Turkic tribal leaders carried as the sign of their authority, and the diminutive-feminine ending -çe. Together: 'little standard-bearer' or 'she who carries the banner'. The name belongs to the Old Turkic naming layer that was retained when the Anatolian Turks accepted Islam, kept because the symbolism of carrying the standard mapped onto the Islamic value of standing for truth (qiyām bil-ḥaqq).
