The word "Yılmaz" is of Turkish origin. It is a Turkish surname and given name, derived from the Turkish word "yılmaz" which means "fearless" or "indomitable" in English. It is a combination of two Turkish words: "yıl", meaning "year", and "maz", a suffix that negates or reverses the meaning of the preceding word. Therefore, "Yılmaz" can be interpreted as "not afraid" or "unyielding".
