What does Abgül mean?
Water and rose; a compound-name interpretation
In Turkish: Su ve gül; birleşik ad yorumu
Abgül can be interpreted as a compound bringing together water and floral imagery. Gül appears both independently and as an element in Turkish given names. Persian uses a different word formation for rosewater, so that meaning should not be assigned automatically to this particular combination.
Gül is the Persian-origin word for “rose.” It brings a floral image to compound names such as Ayşegül, Nurgül and Aygül. More girl names ending in -gül →
