Nursevim brings together Nur and Sevim, both also used as independent names. Sevim belongs to the semantic field of affection and charm. The compound consequently creates a poetic association between light and affection, although translating Sevim specifically as “my love” would give the formation more grammatical certainty than is warranted.
