Kurdish baby girl names reflect diverse linguistic, historical, and cultural elements. They are as varied and vibrant as the Kurdish people themselves, with roots spreading across several regions in the Middle East, including Iran, Turkey, Syria, and Iraq (1). These names have great historical significance and are frequently chosen to convey the parents' wishes, hopes, and blessings for their newborn daughters. They also uniquely link to Kurdish heritage, uniting the past and present. Kurdish naming patterns often resonate with the community's deep respect for nature and the environment. In Kurdish culture, naming ceremonies and customs are also quite important. The naming ceremony for a child is often a joyful event that includes family and friends. The name selection is often a thoughtful process involving elders of the family. It is believed that a name can influence a child's destiny, making the naming ceremony a crucial cultural practice. Due to the impact of globalization, there has been a noticeable trend in Kurdish parents incorporating international, primarily Western, nomenclature into their naming traditions. Kurdish women generally do not adopt their husband's family name upon marriage. However, some may do so in Western society (2). Despite these multicultural influences, traditional Kurdish titles maintain their appeal for parents seeking names with deep cultural resonance and meaningful connotations. Moreover, Kurdish baby girl names often reflect the resilient spirit of the Kurdish people and serve as a beautiful testament to their enduring culture and heritage. Whether parents adopt a traditional Kurdish name or opt for a more globally influenced name, they choose a name steeped in meaning, tradition, and a strong feeling of Kurdish identity.
