What does Seçgül mean?
Choose a rose; evoking a chosen rose
In Turkish: gül seç; seçilen gül çağrışımlı
Seçgül places a verb form expressing choice beside the word for a rose. Gül contributes floral and beauty imagery to many Turkish given names; here the act of choosing adds another association, although an established interpretation of this particular compound requires independent documentation.
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 →
