What does Süeyda mean?
A small black spot; the heart's innermost core
In Turkish: küçük kara nokta; gönlün en içi
If identified with Süveyda, Süeyda carries the image of the heart's deepest center found in mystical and classical poetry. The literal small black spot becomes, in literary usage, the most hidden interior of the heart. Because this spelling omits v, its connection with the established form should still be checked.
Origin of the name Süeyda
Probably a spelling variant of Süveyda with the v omitted. Süveyda derives from Arabic suwaydāʾ, a diminutive form referring to a small black spot.
