Old Turkish names. Turkish names for girls

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 they mean female names, 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 Attempts to use astrology are no longer applicable; astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.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 features name, negative traits name, choice of profession by name, influence of a name on business, influence of a name on health, psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of the character, energy structure, task for life and gender of a particular child.

Name Compatibility Topic(and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns the interaction inside out different people internal mechanisms of influence of a name on the state of its bearer. 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.

The secret of a woman's 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.

WOMEN OF SULTAN SULEYMAN It is not known how many women there were in the life of Sultan Suleiman I, but his relationships with some of them are provable. Suleiman's first woman was the Montenegrin Mukrime (Mukarrem), whom Valide Hafsa introduced to him in Caffa in 1508/09. Mukrime was born in Shokdra in 1496 (or 1494), she was the daughter of Prince Stefan (Staniš) Černoević of the Montenegrin royal family of Crnojević (Černoević) and an Albanian princess; it was given to the Sultan's court in 1507 as a tribute. Stefan Chernoevich converted to Islam after the conquest of Montenegro by the Turks (around 1507) and called himself Iskender. Selim I gave him one of his daughters as a wife and gained control of Montenegro. Thanks to his family connection with the sultan's dynasty, Stefan Cernoević (Iskender) remained governor of Montenegro until his death in 1530. Mukrime gave birth to three children: Neslihan (1510) and Meryem (1511) were born in Kaffa: both girls died during the smallpox epidemic in 1512. Seven years later, Mukrime gave birth to a son, Murad, in Sarukhan - he also died of smallpox in 1521 in the summer palace of Edirne. As a childless sultana, Mukrime remained in the shadows until 1534. After the death of her mother-in-law Hafsa, she was expelled from Istanbul along with two other women of Suleiman - Gulbahar and Mahidevran. Suleiman gave Mukrima a mansion in Edirne and she remained there until his death in 1555. Suleiman's second wife was the Albanian Gülbahar Melekcihan (also called Kadriye), who became the Sultan's concubine around 1511 in Caffa. She is often mistakenly identified with Makhidevran. Gulbahar came from Albanian noble family and thanks to family ties with the Ottoman dynasty, she became a servant of Hafsa. It is unknown how many children she bore to Suleiman: there must have been at least two. Being a childless concubine, after Roksolana appeared in the harem, she lost her influence, and in 1534 she was expelled from Istanbul along with Mukrime and Makhidevran. She first lived in a mansion in Edirne, then in a manor near Arnavutkoy near the capital, and died there in 1559 at the age of 63. Suleiman's third wife, Makhidevran (one of the Sultan's most famous wives), was the daughter of the Circassian prince Idar. She was born in Taman in 1498; her mother, Princess Nazkan-Begum, was the daughter of the Crimean Tatar ruler Mengli 1st Giray. Mahidevran met Suleiman in the winter of 1511 in Kaffa, where she was visiting her mother. Suleiman married Mahidevran a little later, on January 5, 1512 in Kaffa. At the end of the same year she gave birth to her first child, Sehzade Mahmud, in 1515 - Sehzade Mustafa, in 1518 - Sehzade Ahmed, in 1521 - Fatma Sultan and, finally, in 1525 - Raziy Sultan: at this time Mahidevran already was not Suleiman’s first favorite, since the Slavic slave Hurrem became his favorite concubine. It was assumed that Makhidevran was also named Gulbahar, but in the certificate of issuance to her monetary reward the second name is not given. In historical documents Mahidevran is mentioned as Valide-i Şehzade-Sultan Mustafa Mahidevran Hatun. From the documentation of expenses (1521) it is clear that Gülbahar Hatun, mother of the deceased Shehzade Abdullah (orig.: Gülbahar Hatun mader-i mürdü Şehzade Sultan Abdullah), spent 120 akçe on her stables. Another document from 1532 states that 400 akche were granted to the brother of Gulbahar Khatun - Tahir aga from Ohrit. (orig.: padişah-ı mülkü alem Sultan Suleyman Han Hazretlerinin halile-i muhteremeleri Gülbahar Hatunun karındaşı Ohritli Tahir Ağa’nın şahsi hükmüne atayayı seniyyeden 400 Akça ihsan edildi). A letter dated 1554 states: “Gulbahar Kadriye, daughter of Hasan Bey and highly respected wife of Suleiman, Shah of the World, asks from her native state the sum of 90 aspers.” (orig. Gülbahar Kadriye binti Hasan Bey, harem-i muhtereme-i Cıhan-ı Şehinşah-ı Cihan-ı Suleyman Han, hane-i ahalisi içün 90 Asper mercuu eyler). This important document shows that Gulbahar's middle name was Kadriye. This proves that Mahidevran and Gulbahar are two completely different women. In a document from 1531, Gulbahar is referred to as Melekcihan (orig. Padişah-ı mülk Sultan Suleyman Han harem-i Arnavut nesebinden Kadriye Melekcihan Hatun). Around 1517 or 1518, a woman named Kumru Khatun appears in the harem, who is said to have been Suleiman's concubine. In a document from 1518, Kumru Khatun is mentioned among the influential ladies of the harem. But since 1533 her name has not been found in any historical documents, perhaps she died or was exiled. A certain Kumru Memdukha Khatun (died in 1561) was a servant of Mukrime Khatun. Presumably these two Kumru Khatuns are identical. Hurrem, whose real name was Alexandra Lisowska, was the daughter of a peasant from Ruthenia and was born in 1505 in eastern Poland. When she was very young, she was kidnapped by the Cossacks and sold to the court. Crimean Tatars in Bakhchisaray. She remained there for a short time, and then was sent along with other slaves to the Sultan's court. As soon as she arrived in the imperial harem, she became the Sultan's mistress. In the autumn of 1520 she was already pregnant with her first child, and in early 1521 she gave birth to Şehzade Mehmed. Over the next five years, she was constantly pregnant and gave birth every year: at the end of 1521 Mihrimah Sultan was born, in 1523 - Abdullah, in 1524 - Selim, and in 1525 - Bayezid. Six years passed after the birth of Bayezid, and she again gave birth to a son, Cihangir (in December 1530). The boy probably suffered from scoliosis, which progressed throughout his life and caused severe pain. With this group of children, Hurrem strengthened her position at court and replaced her rival Mahidevran, becoming the first favorite of the Sultan. A fight began between the two women over the future of their sons. Mahidevran lost this war because Hurrem, with the help of her daughter Mihrimah and son-in-law Rustem Pasha, convinced the Sultan that Mahidevran's son, Prince Mustafa, was a traitor. Suleiman executed Mustafa. After the assassination of Prince Mustafa on October 6, 1553 in Aktepe near Konya, the path to the throne was clear for Hurrem's sons, but she did not live to see her son Selim II become 11th Ottoman Sultan. She died after a short illness on April 15, 1558 in Istanbul. Suleiman fell into deep depression and allegedly mourned his beloved wife until his death. Little is known about last women Suleiman. They say that while Hurrem was still alive, he took two concubines, with whom he had children. Around 1555, he chose Merziban Khatun, an Albanian, as his concubine, and around 1557, Meleksime Khatun, a Bosnian from Mostar. The power-hungry Venetian wife of the heir Selim, Nurbanu, did not tolerate rivals in the palace, especially since Suleiman had a son with Meleksime Khatun, and the boy could be considered as a contender for the throne. Shortly after the execution of Bayezid and his sons in 1561 a little prince died unexpectedly at the age of about seven years, and his mother Meleksime, as well as Merziban, were forced to leave the palace. Apparently, Suleiman did not object, because since 1564 Meleksime lived in Edirne, and Merziban lived in Kizilagac. From 6 women, Suleiman had 22 children: From Mukrime Khatun: 1. Meryem (1510 - 1512) 2. Neslihan (1511 - 1512) 3. Murad (1519 - 1521) Gulbahar Khatun: 1. daughter - name unknown (1511 - 1520) 2. Abdullah (1520 - 1521) died of smallpox 3. Hafiza (1521 - about 1560) died a widow, the name of her husband is unknown. Mahidevran Khatun: 1. Mahmud (1512 – 1521) died of smallpox 2. Mustafa (1515 – 1553) 3. Ahmed (1518 – after 1534) date of death unknown, possibly around 1540 or later. It is unknown whether Prince Ahmed died of natural causes; murder is possible. 4. Fatma (1520 – 1572) was married to Gazi Hoxha Mehmed Pasha (died 1548). Mehmed Pasha was the son of Ghazi Yahya Pasha and Princess Shahzadi (daughter of Sultan Bayezid II). 5. Raziye (1525 – 1556) died a widow, the name of her husband is unknown. Hurrem Haseki Sultan: 1. Mehmed (1521 - 1543) 2. Mihrimah (1522 - 1578) 3. Abdullah (1523 - 1523) died in infancy 4. Selim II (1524 - 1574) 5. Bayazid (1525 - 1561) 6. Cihangir (1531 – 1553) Merziban Khatun: 1. Hatice (c. 1555 – after 1575) died in youth 2. son, whose name is unknown (ca. 1556 – c. 1563) this prince may have been killed. Meleksime Khatun: 1. Orhan? (about 1556 - 1562) in other sources he is called Mehmed. However, Sehzade Bayezid also had a son named Orhan, who was killed in Bursa around 1562. Confusion is quite possible. 2. Shahikhuban (1560 - about 1595) presumably she was married and had children.

No matter how surprising it may sound, until the 20th century, residents of Turkey did not have surnames. Until 1934, the country used an Arabic naming system, which was very difficult to understand, especially for foreigners. This system is represented by a long chain of several names.

But on June 21, 1934, the “Law on Surnames” was approved in the Turkish state, after which each resident was named own name and last name. Another innovation was adopted on November 26 of the same year: the law “On the abolition of prefixes to names in the form of nicknames and titles” was established. Since that time, no changes have occurred regarding Turkish names and surnames.

So what are they like in Turkey today? What do Turkish surnames mean?

The most common Turkish surnames

Surnames in the country have appeared not so long ago, so most of them are the same names, for example, Kaplan- tiger.

Turkish surnames are written in one word. They are transmitted exclusively through the paternal line, from father to children. But if children are born outside of an official marriage, then they are given the maternal surname.

When a woman gets married, she is obliged to take her husband's surname. But she also has the right to keep her maiden name. At the same time, in documents she must write her maiden name before her husband’s last name. In case of divorce, a woman can keep her husband's surname.

  • Yilmaz. Translated into Russian, it means “unstoppable.” This surname comes from the given name. It is the most common in the country. It's the same as Ivanov in Russia.
  • Kilych- saber.
  • Kuchuk- small.
  • Tatlybal - sweet Honey. This is one of the few beautiful Turkish surnames that are ideal for girls.

There are several other common surnames in Turkey: Kaya, Demir, Sahin and Celik, Yildiz, Yildirim, Ozturk, Aydin, Ozdemir, Arslan, Dogan, Aslan, Çetin, Kara, Koç, Kurt, Ozkan, Şimşek.

Rare names

In Turkey there are also names that you practically never see in everyday life. Their rarity lies in the fact that newborns cannot be called them. And in most cases the ban is imposed by religion.

These names include:

  • Haffaw;
  • Dasim;
  • Aguar;
  • Walha.

What is the justification for the ban on names? The thing is that in Turkish mythology they were called evil spirits and demons. But no matter how strange it may sound, Turks do not name their children after angels and saints. But here the prohibition acts as respect for the “heavenly inhabitants.” In addition, words related to the description of Allah are excluded as names.

There is one more prohibition. Residents of Turkey do not have the right to give their children Western names and it is believed that a true Muslim must bear the name permitted by his culture and religion. And if it is also noted in the Koran, then it is considered sacred and revered.

Origin of names and surnames

Most Turkish surnames are derived from given names. And the names, as can be judged from those listed earlier, are the names of plants, animals, heavenly bodies, varieties of character, etc. In addition, in Turkey it is customary to name newborns in honor of departed ancestors or famous persons of the country.

Another first name, and subsequently the last name, was given based on what time of day or day of the week the child was born. The name could have become a natural phenomenon or the elements that raged at the time of birth.

They often have surnames that symbolize luck, hope, joy, health, or wealth. It's not uncommon to meet a person with double surname, inherited from both his mother and father. Sometimes the combination of such surnames forms a successful, beautiful tandem.

Conclusion

The name is a person’s “companion” from birth. It remains even after his death. This is what reflects the character and abilities of a person. Therefore, all parents are especially careful when choosing a name.

It can glorify, or it can discredit. In any case, the name plays an important role in human destiny. This is also important in the Muslim faith, which is why newborns are given names with “positive energy” and the use of negative ones with a negative translation is completely excluded, even prohibited.

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, such gentle female names were widespread in those days Turkish origin like Amal, Manal, Iman, Hanan. 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.
