“nobility; distinguished lineage or quality”

What does Necabet mean?
Nobility; distinguished lineage or quality
In Turkish: soyluluk; köklü ve seçkin oluş
Necabet can express both distinction associated with lineage and a broader idea of elevated quality. It shares its root with Necip and Necibe, expressing as an abstract noun what those names express adjectivally. The historical meaning of nobility does not identify a bearer's actual ancestry.
The ending “-et” is not a shared meaningful suffix in names such as Mehmet, Fikret and İsmet. Each name’s origin and meaning belong to the name as a whole. More boy names ending in -et →
