Manchu language
Nurhaci is written as in Manchu language. Some suggest that the meaning of the name in the Manchu language is "the skin of a wild boar". Regarded as the founding father of the Qing dynasty, he is given the customary temple name of "Taizu", which is traditionally assigned to founders of dynasties. His name is also alternatively spelled "Nurgaci", "Nurhachi", or "Nu-er-ha-chi" (the last of these simply the transcription of the Chinese characters used to write his name).
