Meleknaz is a feminine name joining the image of an angel with grace and delicacy. Turkish also uses melek in comparisons involving beauty and goodness, so the compound need not be read solely religiously. Its construction resembles other poetic names ending in naz, such as Gülnaz and Perinaz.
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 →
