What does Mihrali mean?
Sun or affection; exalted
In Turkish: güneş veya sevgi; yüce
Mihrali can plausibly be understood through the elements Mihr and Ali, although the compound has no firmly established single translation. A historical association is Mihrali Bey, remembered in nineteenth-century Ottoman military history. Its first element also appears in names such as Mihriban and Mihrimah.
Ali is an Arabic-origin name meaning “exalted” or “high,” used in compounds such as Yusufali and Binali. The final letters in names such as Kemali do not necessarily represent Ali. More boy names ending in -ali →
