Mihriye name meaning
“associated with the sun or affection”
Mihriye means “associated with the sun or affection.” It is formed from Persian mihr, meaning “sun” or “love,” with an expanded name ending, and is used as a feminine name in Türkiye. It shares its root with Mihri, while the warmth of sunlight brings its central associations together.
What does Mihriye mean?
Associated with the sun or affection
In Turkish: güneşle veya sevgiyle ilgili
Mihriye draws on the sun and affection imagery associated with Persian mihr. It belongs to the same semantic family as Mihri, Mihriban, and other mihr compounds. Either sense may be foregrounded in interpretation, so reducing the name exclusively to sunlight or exclusively to love would be incomplete.
The ending “-ye” has no single independent meaning across these names. In Rukiye, Safiye and Aliye, the ending is understood through each name’s linguistic origin and structure. More girl names ending in -ye →
