Girl
Fatma Nur
Fatma Nur pairs a familiar Turkish classic with Nur, a name meaning light.
Meaning
Fatma is generally explained as meaning one who weans a child, while Nur means light or illumination. The combined name brings these two meanings together rather than forming a separate phrase.
Origin
Both parts have Arabic roots: Fatma is the established Turkish form of Fatima, and Nur comes from the Arabic word for light. Together, they are used as a girl's name in Turkish.
In recent years
Long among the most chosen names, Fatma Nur appeared in earlier top-hundred lists twenty-two times, reaching a highest position of fifty-seventh. It is absent from the latest official top hundred but remains a familiar classic from earlier generations.
