[Bagatyr]

Really what ?

[NikeBG]

Probably because it's not a Bulgarian, but a Turkic word, considering the Shishmanids (like the Terterids before them) were of Cuman origin. Of course, it could also be "translated" through modern Bulgarians as "shishko", meaning "fatty", but that would be quite incorrect (and probably some form of Turcism in the modern Bulgarian language anyway).

[Tureuki]

yes, fatty
