Boy
Mehmet Ali

Meaning
Mehmet is the established Turkish form of Muhammad, commonly understood as praised or worthy of praise. Ali means high or exalted, so the combined name carries the meanings of both names.
Origin
Both parts have Arabic roots, while their pairing belongs to Turkish naming tradition. Mehmet reflects the Turkish adaptation of Muhammad, whereas Ali retains its familiar form.
In recent years
Mehmet Ali ranks 60th in the latest official top hundred, with a best-ever position of 22nd. It has appeared 45 times overall, including all five latest lists, maintaining a steady presence as a long-standing classic.
