Turkish names and the meaning behind them

Behind these beautiful Turkish first names there often hides an exciting meaning.

The Name Isra, occasionally spelt Israa, means ‘one who travels by night’.  

Elif means “the slender”, it’s derived from the first letter of the Arabic alphabet, which has a very slender shape. In Turkey there’s a flower called Elif. 

In Turkish mythology Alara is a beautiful water nymph and in Turkey there is a castle with a river called Alara. The Turkish maiden name is sometimes written as Alaara. 

Another beautiful Turkish first and sometimes sur- name is Melek, which means “the angel”. 

The name Ediz is used for both girls and boys; it means”the Blessed One” 

The Turkish boys’ name Hakan means “The Ruler” or “The Warlord”. We’ve so far only printed one single personalized picture book with this name.  

The name Hazar carries the meanings “Joy”, “Persistence” oder “Safety”. 

Ayaz means “the cold” or “The ice-cold dawn.” There is a figure in Arabic legend that bears this name.  

The Turkish name Kadir has several meanings: the powerful, the proud or the servant of Allah. The name is an abbreviated form of the Arabic name Abdulkadir.
