Vecih name meaning
“face; appearance or aspect”
Vecih means face, appearance or aspect and comes from Arabic wajh, meaning face. In Türkiye, it is used as a masculine given name. Its concrete association is the face shown in a portrait, while the broader sense of aspect also connects it with viewing a subject from different sides.
What does Vecih mean?
Face; appearance or aspect
In Turkish: yüz; görünüş, yön
Vecih appears in older Turkish usage for the face and, more abstractly, an aspect or point of view. As a personal name, it needs to be distinguished carefully from related-looking forms such as Vecihi. Its resemblance to another Arabic word meaning distinguished makes the original spelling particularly important.
