What does Bengül mean?
Rose with a beauty mark
In Turkish: Benli gül
Bengül joins the floral beauty of the rose with the image of a beauty mark. In Turkish and Ottoman poetry, a mole can be a detail of facial beauty, while the rose can evoke both a flower and the beloved's face. The name therefore carries a distinctly poetic visual image.
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 →
