What does Asyanur mean?
Asia and light
In Turkish: Asya ve ışık
Asyanur brings together Asya’s geographical imagery and Nur’s meaning of light. The deeper origin of the continental name Asia is uncertain, so meanings involving direction or the sun should not be added confidently. Asya should also be distinguished from Arabic Asiya; the compound does not occur in the Quran.
Nur comes from Arabic and means “light.” It is used as a component in compound names such as Aynur, Ayşenur and Fatmanur. More girl names ending in -nur →
