Girl
Didem
Didem is a girl’s name meaning my eye, also affectionately understood as the apple of my eye.
Meaning
Didem is generally explained as my eye, with the affectionate sense of the apple of my eye. It expresses how dearly someone is loved and the closeness of a special bond.
Origin
Used as a given name in Turkish, Didem is linked to the Persian word dîde, meaning eye. A Persian root is therefore more accurate than a direct derivation from the Turkish word göz.
In recent years
Didem was among the most chosen names for a time, appearing in two earlier top-100 lists and reaching a best rank of 83. It does not appear in the latest official top-100 list.
