Gençosman (1621–1638) was a person from the Ottoman Empire who distinguished himself during the Capture of Baghdad (1638). He was born in 1621. Although he was too young to join the army during Murat IV's campaign, he secretly joined the army and was the first soldier to plant the Ottoman flag to the bastion of the fort. But soon he fell. His remains were buried in his home village which was Dorikini (modern-day Gençosman). In 1960s the name of the village was changed to Gençosman to commemorate him.[1]
