Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish تپه‎ (tepe, “crown of the head, apex, summit, mountain peak, hill”), from Proto-Turkic *tepö, *töpö (“hill, top; top of head”), which, according to the controversial Altaic hypothesis, is possibly derived from Proto-Altaic *t`ĕp`á (“tuft (of hair)”). Cognate with Old Turkic 𐱅𐰇𐰯𐰇‎ (töpü, “height”), Old Uyghur [script needed] (töpü, “top of head”), Karakhanid [script needed] (töpü, “summit of a mountain, hill, crown of a head”), Yakut төбө (töbö, “top, summit”).
