I looked through some Turkish sites in regards to Taşdemir and what I've found out from translating (using Google Translate) and looking up in dictionaries is that it is a combination of words 'taş' which means "stone, rock, gem" and 'demir' which means "iron."
All of the websites that I've been to show the same meaning + the added connotation (at least, that's what I presume) which is "strong and healthy."

Here are links to dictionaries which show what these words mean:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ta%C5%9F
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/demir
http://www.turkishdictionary.net/?word=ta%FE
http://www.turkishdictionary.net/?word=demir
http://tureng.com/search/ta%C5%9F
http://tureng.com/search/demir

I could be wrong but with all the websites that I've been to being Turkish, I would say that they are, at least, a bit credible with their information.

According to http://www.ismininistatistikleri.com/tasdemir-6511, 85 males were named Taşdemir so it is quite a rare Turkish name.

Hope it helps. :)
