What does Mevanur mean?
A compound of refuge and light
In Turkish: sığınak ve ışık öğelerinden birleşik ad
Mevanur joins Meva, with its associations of shelter and refuge, to Nur, meaning light. The word maʾwā occurs in the Quran, including in an expression referring to paradise. The compound name itself is not a Quranic expression, and translating it as 'light of paradise' adds interpretation beyond its elements.
Nur comes from Arabic and means “light.” It is used as a component in compound names such as Aynur, Ayşenur and Fatmanur. More girl names ending in -nur →
