What does Elifnaz mean?
The letter alif; coyness, delicate charm
In Turkish: elif harfi; naz, ince eda
Elifnaz pairs the name of a letter with the delicate charm suggested by naz. In Turkish poetry, the upright, slender alif can serve as an image of graceful stature. The compound brings that literary image together with an element also used independently as Naz.
Naz comes from Persian and conveys ideas of coy charm or grace. It appears in Elifnaz, Gülnaz and Şehnaz as a name element, not a description of the bearer’s personality. More girl names ending in -naz →
