IN modern conditions the coexistence of many different ethno-national cultures and their mutual penetration, more and more often young parents give their children names that are uncharacteristic for their areas. Russia in this regard can serve as a vivid illustration of this process. It is characteristic, however, that the parents’ gaze is turned to the West, to traditional European culture. On the other hand, with the spread of Islam, newborns are increasingly given Eastern, Muslim names. In this article we will touch a little on such a topic as female Turkish names, which are still relatively rare for Russia as a whole.
Story
There are an extremely large number of Turkish names. This situation is caused by the fact that the whole mass of Arabic names, as well as many Persian and others common among Muslim peoples, are added to the original Turkish common nouns. Moreover, many of them are connected in various options, forming countless variants of complex names consisting of several roots.
Naming traditions in Turkey
Often, when choosing a name for a newborn girl, the decisive factor is the special environmental conditions or time of year. For example, if a child was born on some significant day religious holiday, it may be named after this holiday. It often happens that names are given according to days of the week, months, seasons, time of day or weather conditions. Names rooted in the Koran and belonging to various outstanding women who played a role in the history of the Prophet Muhammad and Islam are extremely popular.
List of Turkish names
Here are the most revered female Turkish names (though both of them are of Arabic origin):
- Aishe. For every Muslim, this name is of great importance, because this was the name of the wife of the founder of this religion, the Prophet Muhammad. It means "life".
- Fatima. And this name belonged to the daughter of the prophet. Translated into Russian, it means “weaned.”
Female Turkish names related to celestial bodies, sky and weather conditions
- Aigul. Literally means "moon".
- Eileen. Close in semantics to the previous one, but more specific. Can be translated as “moonlight”.
- Ida. The name is peculiar when translated into Russian, because its literal meaning is “on the moon.”
- Aytach. The meaning of this common noun fits well with the phrase “moon diadem”.
- Gyokce. The semantics of this option is related to the sky. The closest direct meaning is “heavenly”.
- Gulgun. A name translated as “pink day.”
- Dolunay. This word refers to the full moon.
- Yildiz. And this is what they call night stars in Turkey.
- Ozai. According to its meaning, this name can mean a special, unusual moon.

Names associated with plants
- Akgul. This is a "white rose".
- Altinacak. It can be literally translated as “golden wheat.”
- Bingyul. This name is based on the word “rose” and the numeral, in in this case- thousand. The Turks love to give names like this.
- Gelistan. And this is not even a thousand, this is a whole rose garden.
- Jonsa. A name that also refers to clover.
- Lale. Can be translated as "tulip". Sometimes it is also interpreted as "lily".
- Nergis. This word in Turkey is used to describe a flower known in Russia as narcissus.

- Fidan. Means "small tree".
- Ela. This name can be translated into Russian as “hazel”.
Most Muslim families want to give their children names that are beautiful, pleasant to hear and have meaning. The Turkish people are especially sensitive to the choice of girls' names. As a rule, almost all Turkish names for girls personify femininity, tenderness and beauty, which over time is imprinted on the characters of the owners of such names. In the pre-Islamic era, many families, or rather family heads, treated their daughters with hatred. They expressed their attitude towards them in their names. For example, they gave the girl the name Bagida - “hated, despicable”, or the name Jusama, which translated means “ nightmare".
After the adoption of Islam, Turkish names for girls such as Asia, Maryam, Fatima, Aisha, Khadija, Zainab became widespread, and the attitudes of men towards women also changed. They began to be more sensitive to female, especially to my daughters. These names spread mainly because of their beautiful sound. In addition, in those days such gentle female names of Turkish origin as Amal, Manal, Iman, Hanan became widespread. If the family is Muslim, then the parents want to give their daughters a name related to Islamic history. And the rest of the residents of Turkey can give their children almost any Western or foreign names they like.

Turkish names are a vast, terribly interesting and, in my opinion, very important topic. I believe that you need to be well versed in the names of the people you live among.
There are simply tons of Turkish names, and there are also a lot of actively used ones. If we have mostly the same names in circulation, then there are hundreds of active names here. Turkish names have a very diverse composition, just like the Turkish language. IN large quantities there are original Turkic names, for example Demir, Ercan, Ozgur, Tansu, Yildiz, etc. A huge share belongs to Arabic names: Ramazan, Shaban, Hassan, Ali, Leila, Bushra and many others. The third huge group is Persian names. Persian culture and the Persian language were very relevant in the Ottoman Empire, which was reflected in the names. Bahar, Narin, Shirin, Naz, Bahadir - these are all Persian names. There are small numbers of names of European and Greek origin. These are mainly female names like Manolya, Akasya, Melody, etc. Recently, a fashion for unusual names has emerged in Turkey, and the number of European names among them is growing rapidly.
The meanings of Turkish names are very diverse. Take any beautiful word, describing nature, graceful animal, flower, beautiful feeling or a good human quality, and you'll almost certainly get a common Turkish name. Mehtap - moonlight, Nehir - river, Deniz - sea, Yrmak - stream... Kartal - eagle, Aslan - lion, Ceylan - doe... Mert - courageous, Ozgur - free... Sevda - love, Arzu - desire. You can list all day without stopping for lunch. There are flowers, and birds, and the names of mountains, and gems, and the names of the months... Well, there are a lot of beautiful and interesting names, and studying them is really exciting.
What do Turks call children?
This is where your parental imagination can run wild. The Turks are a prolific people, and since there are a crazy variety of names here, they take names seriously, often planning names for several children in advance. Very often you can hear consonant names among siblings, or between parents and children. For example, you can easily meet three brothers with the names Mustafa, Murat and Musa. Or the three sisters Khale, Lale and Zhale. Or perhaps it will be Shahin, Kartal and Dogan (hawk, eagle and falcon) or Aslan and Kaplan (lion and tiger). That is, names can be combined by the first syllables, by the last, by meaning, or they can also form a train, for example (Erdem, Demet, Metin). I also chose consonant names for my children; for now there is a post about this only in Turkish. Often parents combine their names and call the child what they came up with. For example, dad Ilkay, and mom Emine - the name turned out to be Ilkem. 
Religious families name their children after Muslim holy days and months if the birth falls on them. The probability that a person named Mirach was born on the holy day of Miraj is at least 99%.
There are names exclusively for men, there are exclusively for women, and there are unisex ones. But sometimes there are men with feminine names and women with masculine names. One of the reasons is that the parents wanted a boy, a girl was born, they couldn’t resist, they called him a man’s name and vice versa. You need to behave delicately with such people and not show surprise when meeting them.
Turks very often name children after their favorite football players, TV series characters and politicians. If a new promising player appears in a Turkish football club, then very soon you will hear his name on the playgrounds.
In more traditional families It is customary to give children the names of their grandparents. Often, this is done “because I don’t want to”, so as not to offend elders. Some find a compromise by giving the child two names: the first - which the parents want, the second - which they need to name. Well, for example, the boy’s name is Abdurrahim Erkan. The first name is the name of the grandfather (and grandfathers very often have such complex and outdated names), and the second is the name that the parents chose. Sometimes a husband and wife cannot come to an agreement and also call by two names. Or they simply cannot choose between two names and call them both. By the way, the name given to the load is called gobek ady (the name of the umbilical cord). Almost always people use only one name, and göbek ady is consigned to oblivion and exists only in the documents of its bearer.
Recently, Turks have been actively adding to the already huge list of names, naming children with Arabic words found in the Koran. Or they make names from words that were not names: fairy tale, oath, echo, frost, etc. More and more often you can hear foreign names: Melissa, Linda, Lena, Maya, etc.

And finally, some statistics. The most common male names in Turkey - Mehmet, Mustafa, Ahmet, Ali and Huseyin. Women's - Fatma, Ayşe, Emine, Hatice and Zeynep.
That's probably all, see you soon!
A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character, aura and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?
Despite the fact that in culture there are poetic interpretations of what female names mean, in reality the influence of the name on each girl is individual.
Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Attempts to use astrology are no longer applicable; astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.
Christmastide calendars, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real assistance in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.
Popular lists, happy, beautiful, melodious female names are essentially generalizations, and completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, and soul of the child.
Beautiful and modern Turkish names should first of all suit the child, and not relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.
Various characteristics according to statistics - positive traits of a name, negative traits of a name, choice of profession based on a name, the influence of a name on business, the influence of a name on health, the psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of the character, energy structure, life goals and gender of a particular child.
Name Compatibility Topic(and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns the internal mechanisms of the influence of a name on the state of its bearer inside out on the interactions of different people. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.
Meaning of the name does not give full impact, it is only a small part of the impact. For example, Sevzhi (love) does not mean that the girl will be happy in family life, and bearers of other names are unhappy. The name can weaken her health, block her heart center and she will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another girl will be helped to solve problems related to love or family, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third girl may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics. And the same name. But fates are different.
The most popular Turkish names for girls are also misleading. 95% of girls are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only focus on the child’s innate character, spiritual vision and the wisdom of a specialist. And experience, experience and once again the experience of understanding what is happening.
Secret female name , as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of a name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.
Below is a list of Turkish names. Try to choose several that you think are most suitable for your child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate, .

Russia is characterized by the spread of national cultures of other peoples. This left its mark on the etymology. As a rule, the naming of newborns with names unusual for Russian open spaces is more often inclined towards Western Europe than towards Eastern traditions.
Female names from the Turkish coast in Russia
However, the widespread spread of Islam in recent times has given rise to the popularity of Eastern and Muslim names. Turkish female names are still rare in our country. Numerous films of Turkish origin have gained a certain springboard for their popularization. The television series The Magnificent Century made a great contribution to the growth of popularity. Already on the streets you can meet Roksolana and Hurrem, Fatmagul and Feride. A Russian women They are enthusiastically watching the new Turkish series The Story of a Girl Named Yaz.

The influence of related cultures on the formation of Turkish female names
The close proximity of three cultures having the same religion: Arabic, Persian and Turkic influenced the origin of female names. Muslim nicknames made their contribution to the interpretation of the female Turkish name. Most beautiful female Turkish nicknames have analogues in Arabic and Persian.
When a child is born, families experience whole discussions, and sometimes even disputes during the naming process. But not in Turkey. Here the father gives the name to his daughter. Only the head of the family makes the final decision. Looking into centuries-old history, it should be noted that the appearance of a daughter in a Turkish family was an undesirable event. Upset by the birth of an heiress, the fathers called them ugly and complex nicknames. They were the personification of the negative qualities of a person’s appearance and character. But several centuries ago, the appearance of a daughter became the same long-awaited event as the birth of a boy. The girls' names have changed. They acquired euphony and beauty.
