Gülüstan name meaning
“rose garden; place of roses”
Gülüstan means “rose garden” or “a place of roses.” Used for girls in Türkiye, it is a Turkish sound variant of Persian gulistān, combining gul, “rose,” with the place-forming element istān. Its garden imagery also connects it with Gulistan, the celebrated literary work by the Persian poet Saadi.
What does Gülüstan mean?
