What does Gökmen mean?
Blue-eyed; sky-colored
In Turkish: mavi gözlü; gök renkli
Gökmen preserves the color sense of gök rather than referring only to the sky. Its imagery therefore includes blue eyes and blue coloring. It shares its opening element with Gökalp and Gökhan, but its ending should not be translated independently as though it were the English word 'man'.
