Azerbaijani names (female) take roots from the Turkic language group. Over time, various names of other nationalities were added to them - for example, from the Arab, Albanian and Persian cultures. In addition, the adoption of Islam has had a significant impact.
When a child is born in a family, everyone wishes: "Let the baby correspond to the name!" Therefore, the choice of a name must be approached especially carefully. Azerbaijani girls are often called in honor of the associates of the prophet, as well as other famous people. In addition, to honor respected and pious relatives, girls can be called by their names.
Azerbaijani girls' names are etymologically associated with the concepts of tenderness and kindness, beauty and sophistication.
As in many other Muslim countries, until recently, the birth of a girl in the family was not a joyful event. Consequently, the names with which the newborns were called were of unsightly content. Until relatively recently, it was often possible to meet Azerbaijani female names with the meanings of "despicable," "unloved," "pretty." Modern culture has significantly changed this attitude towards female children, in connection with which names such as Aybeniz, Arzu, Sevda, Solmaz and others began to appear.
Without a doubt, the choice of a name completely falls on the shoulders of young parents. The chosen Azerbaijani names (female) can reflect not only the preferences of the parents, but also religious and social traditions. However, preference should still be given to a beautiful, short and harmonious name that carries a wish for the future. We should not forget that the fate prepared for a person directly depends on the choice of a name.
