What does Sevgül mean?
Love; beloved like a rose
In Turkish: sev; gül gibi sevilen
Sevgül joins a verbal element expressing love with the rose imagery found in Turkish names. Alongside its literal floral meaning, the rose can evoke beauty and a beloved presence. It shares elements with names such as Sevil and Gül, although the compound resists one definitive sentence-like translation.
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 →
