Girl
Şevval
Şevval is a familiar Turkish girls’ name drawn from the Islamic calendar, with warm associations of Eid celebrations.
Meaning
Şevval names the month that follows Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. Because Eid al-Fitr is celebrated during this month, the name carries a cultural association with the joy of the holiday.
Origin
The name comes from the Arabic word for Shawwal, the same calendar month. In Turkish, it is spelled Şevval and used as a girls’ name.
In recent years
Şevval was long among the most chosen names, appearing in seventeen earlier official top-hundred lists and reaching a best rank of thirteenth. It is absent from the latest official top hundred but remains a familiar classic from earlier generations.
How does it look on a plaque?
Şevval paired with a birth date on a wooden Meşgalem name plaque makes a simple, warm keepsake for a nursery.
