What does Zülfinaz mean?
Name combining a lock of hair and coy grace
In Turkish: saç lülesi ve nazı birleştiren ad
Zülfinaz can be interpreted through the paired images of hair and coy grace familiar from classical poetry. Zülüf evokes a curling lock or a tress falling beside the face, while naz suggests an expressive, graceful manner. It closely resembles Zülfünaz, although the relationship between the two recorded spellings should be confirmed.
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 →
