What does Zülfünaz mean?
Name combining a lock of hair and coy grace
In Turkish: saç lülesi ve nazı birleştiren ad
Zülfünaz brings together the images of hair and coy grace found in classical poetry. Zülüf has a more literary tone than an ordinary reference to hair, while naz can describe a graceful or coquettish manner. Zülfinaz is a closely related spelling, though the connecting vowel should not be assigned a definite grammatical function without further evidence.
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 →
