Rüyet is an older, abstract noun corresponding to the everyday verb to see. Historical texts use it for sight, observation, and discussions about the nature of seeing in religious contexts. Despite its resemblance to Rüya, its direct meaning is seeing rather than dreaming; its use as a personal name merits documentation.
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 →
