“Rose branch”
Şahıgül means rose branch. It is linked to the Persian phrase shākh-e gul, combining shākh, meaning branch, with gul, meaning rose, and is used as a feminine name in Türkiye. A rose stem carrying blossoms and unopened buds provides a direct visual expression of the name’s meaning.
What does Şahıgül mean?
Rose branch
In Turkish: Gül dalı
Şahıgül evokes a branch bearing roses rather than only an isolated blossom. Its rose element connects it with the large family of gül names used in Turkish, while the branch interpretation keeps the flower within a living plant and suggests gardens, growth, and natural beauty.
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 →
