Sahinaz means “royal charm and grace.” It draws on Persian shāh, meaning ruler, and nāz, expressing charm, grace, or coyness. In Türkiye, it is used as a feminine given name. It is related to Şahinaz and Şahnaz; the intervening i does not contribute a separate lexical meaning.
What does Sahinaz mean?
Royal charm and grace
In Turkish: Şahın nazı, hükümdarın zarafeti
Read alongside Şahnaz, Sahinaz combines royal imagery with charm and grace. Şahnaz is also the name of a makam in Turkish classical music, adding a musical association to this name family. That connection enriches the interpretation, although the spelling Sahinaz does not establish the derivation with complete certainty.
Naz comes from Persian and conveys ideas of coy charm or grace. It appears in Elifnaz, Gülnaz and Şehnaz as a name element, not a description of the bearer’s personality. More girl names ending in -naz →
