Cihangül name meaning
“rose of the world”
Cihangül means “rose of the world.” It combines cihan, meaning “world,” and gül, meaning “rose,” both words of Persian origin brought together in Turkish naming. Used for girls in Türkiye, it evokes a blooming rose and connects with classical poetic flower imagery and the independent name Gül.
What does Cihangül mean?
Rose of the world
In Turkish: dünyanın gülü
Cihangül joins the image of the world with the floral beauty associated with a rose. In Turkish naming, gül appears both independently and as part of many compounds. The name is directly related to Cihan and Gül; “rose of the world” is a poetic interpretation of its elements rather than the designation of a botanical species.
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 →
