Questions

About these unisex names

How many unisex names are on TurkicNames?

2,015 published names are listed on this page. 125 have a meaning backed by a cited source (Documented), 10 are Likely, and 1,880 come from our own editorial research. Use the meaning label filter to see only one group.

Which languages contribute the most unisex names?

Turkish (1,938), Kazakh (60), and Uyghur (46) lead the list. A name counts for a language only when our data records it for that language, so a name used in several languages is counted once for each.

Why is a name unisex here?

A name is listed as unisex when our sources record it for both girls and boys in at least one language, or when an entry carries the unisex classification. 1,950 of these names are recorded for a single language and 65 for two or more, so a name that is unisex in Turkish can still be used for one gender only in another language.

What do unisex names here most often mean?

By documented meaning theme, the biggest groups are leadership and nobility (138), moon (138), and nature and seasons (133). Themes come from the meaning of each name as recorded on its page, never from how a name looks or sounds.

Which origins appear most often?

Our origin rows show Turkic (1,092), Arabic (434), and Persian (308) most often. Origin describes where the name's parts come from, not which people use it, so an Arabic name can be thoroughly Turkic in everyday use.
