Anabörü name meaning
“mother wolf”
Anabörü means “mother wolf.” It combines Turkish ana, mother, with börü, wolf, a word connected to Old Turkic böri. Used for both girls and boys in Türkiye, the name evokes a mother wolf beside her cubs and the wolf imagery found in traditional tales.
What does Anabörü mean?
Mother wolf
In Turkish: ana kurt; anne kurt
Anabörü directly presents the image of a mother wolf. Compared with the everyday Turkish word kurt, börü has a more historical and literary character. Wolves appear in Turkic narratives, but that general association does not establish Anabörü itself as the documented name of a particular mythological figure.
Origin of the name Anabörü
It combines Turkish ana, “mother,” with börü, “wolf,” related to Old Turkic böri.
