Azerbaijani women's names and their meaning

Azerbaijani names (female) take roots from the Turkic language group. Over time, various names of other nationalities were added to them, for example, from Arab, Albanian and Persian cultures. In addition, the adoption of Islam had a significant impact.

When a child is born in the family, everyone wants: "Let the baby match the name!" Therefore, the choice of a name must be approached with particular care. Azerbaijani girls are often named in honor of the Prophet's associates, as well as other famous people. In addition, to honor respected and pious relatives, girls can also be called by their names.

Azerbaijani girls' names are etymologically connected with the concepts of tenderness and kindness, beauty and refinement.

As in many other Muslim countries, until recently the birth of a girl in the family was not a joyful event. Consequently, the names that the newborns were given were of unsightly content. Even relatively recently, it was often possible to meet Azerbaijani women's names with the meanings "despicable", "unloved", "pretty". Modern culture has largely changed this attitude towards the female children, and so the names began to appear, such as Aibeniz, Arzu, Sevda, Solmaz and others.

Without a doubt, the choice of the name falls entirely on the shoulders of young parents. Selected Azerbaijani names (female) can reflect not only the preferences of parents, but also religious and social traditions. However, preference should still be given to a beautiful, short and euphonious name, which carries a wish for the future. Do not forget that the choice of a name directly affects the fate that is prepared for a person.
