Özgül name meaning
“a true rose; a pure rose”
Özgül means a true or pure rose as a given name. It combines Turkish öz, conveying essence or purity, with gül, the Turkish word for rose borrowed from Persian. Used as a feminine name in Türkiye, it evokes a blooming rose and is distinct from the adjective meaning specific.
What does Özgül mean?
A true rose; a pure rose
In Turkish: öz gül; saf, gerçek gül
Özgül combines the rose image with the idea of true or pure essence. Roses have a long literary connection with beauty and affection in Turkish names. The identical spelling of the adjective meaning specific can obscure this usual interpretation of the personal name.
Gül is the Persian-origin word for “rose.” It brings a floral image to compound names such as Ayşegül, Nurgül and Aygül. More girl names ending in -gül →
