Girl or boy
Ayfer
Ayfer is a name associated with shining moonlight, drawing on the moon’s longstanding connection with beauty in Turkish culture.
Meaning
Ayfer is generally understood to mean shining like moonlight. Its imagery echoes the association of the moon with beauty and light in older Turkish culture.
Origin
Used in Turkish, Ayfer is explained as a combination of the Turkish ay, meaning moon, and the Persian-derived fer, meaning light or radiance. Its roots therefore span both languages rather than being exclusively Turkish.
In recent years
Ayfer was among the most chosen names for a time, appearing in ten earlier top-hundred lists and reaching a peak position of forty-second. It does not appear in the latest official top-hundred list.
How does it look on a plaque?
Ayfer would look lovely in simple lettering on a moon-themed Meşgalem night light for the baby’s room.
