Where this comes from

Popularity figures are official birth registration statistics published by TÜİK (İstatistiklerle Çocuk, 2025). Meanings and origins come from a reviewed corpus based on the Turkish Language Association's dictionary of given names. Where that source records no meaning for a name, we say so rather than supplying one.
