Medresenin isminin nereden geldiği belli değildir. Osman Erav-
şar’a göre; “Avgun, Abgın” kelimeleri Kayseri çevresinde “su kaynağı,
su kulesi” anlamında kullanılmaktadır. Buradan hareketle, yapının
bulunduğu alanda bugün kurumuş su kaynağı olduğunu, yapıya da
bu sebeple “Avgunu” isminin verildiğini bazı araştırmacılar belirtir.
Bu iddiayı doğrulayacak herhangi bir iz yoktur. Albert Gabriel, yapının
ismiyle “Argın–Argıncık” adı arasında ilişki kurar. Argın ve Argun’un
kelime anlamı bilinmemekle birlikte, XIII. yüzyıl sonlarında Anadolu’da
emirlik yapan Moğol emirlerinden Argun Han ile aynı adı taşımaktadır.
Ancak bu kişi ve medrese arasındaki ilişkiyi doğrulayan bir bulgu yoktur. Khan of Mongol orders, which emirates in Anatolia in the late 13 century.

AVGUNLU MADRASAH
It is located 30 m from the southwestern corner of the Gevher Nesibe
Madrasah, which is known as the Double Madrasah in Yalman Quarter.
Also included in the landscaping planning belonging to Mimar Sinan Park,
which was approved in 1987. In the framework of this landscaping, the
residences of the Avgunlu Madrasah, which resulted from the demolition
of the expropriated buildings, were in two parts in the north and south.
The General Directorate of Foundations urgently included the build-
ing in the 1988 repair program and the decision was taken by the Kayseri
Protection Board.
The madrasah is based on architectural characteristics of Seljuks
th
madrasahs belonging to the first half of the 13 century. It is built in a
group of open courtyard groups, cut and rubble stone in single storey,
connected to three planes plan. No transferred material was used.
This madrasah, which had been in ruins until 1989, has begun to be
repaired. It was demolished to the basement level with the other parts.
As a result of the restoration work in 1990, all parts of the building were
completed and removed. Who built the mosque in the madrasah and
the date of construction is not clear. There is a connection with the Çifte
Madrasah near the madrasah. It is seen that the first structures of the
beginning of this century, which started to open outwards from the
beginning of the century, were built outside the city walls. If it is taken
into consideration that the construction technique of the Madrasah and
the octopus in the upper veil are mentioned as the octopus, it can be
seen that it has a similarity with the Double Madrasah.
It is not clear where the name comes from. According to Osman
Eravşar; The words “Avgun, Abgın” are used around Kayseri for “water
source, water tower”. Moving from this point, some researchers indicate
that the area in which the structure is built is now a dried–up water source
and that the structure is also given the “Avgunlu” name for this reason.
There is no sign to confirm this assertion. Albert Gabriel associates the
name of the structure with the name “Argin–Argincik”. Although the
meaning of Argun and Argun is unknown, the same name as the Argun
th
However, there is no evidence confirming the relationship between this
person and the madrasah.
