Nurdil name meaning
“light of the heart”

Nurdil joins the image of light with the heart in its emotional and poetic sense. Its second element is Persian dil, not the Turkish word meaning language. That distinction is essential to understanding the compound, which uses the same elements as Dilnur in a different order.
