Ada is a very nice name and you can find it not only in Turkey; I have a friend - Alexandra - but their parents called her Ada since her birth

Both Ada and Ela function in Polish as short versions of Adrianna and Elżbieta respectively. There is a common girl´s name in Ireland - Ella.
I love the fact that Turkish names mean something and they come from common nouns. Most of them sound really nice so I wouldn´t be able to list my favourite ones. I guess Tarık and Arda for boys would be my choice and Elif and Esra for girls

Elif (i looove this name, im turk and i think this name is so elegant) : Very beautiful shining girl,
Esra: faster, like a jack-in-the-box

And ofcourse I have to put my Jewish two cents in (oh wait, I have to meet the stereotype and just put one cent in). Ada is a name that is present in many cultures. In the African culture it has something to do with daughter (not sure, just google it ) and in Hebrew Ada means something like beautiful, or something that makes other things beautiful. My aunt was called Ada ... She wasn´t Jewish or African though
And what was the name mentioned before... Türksel... is that seriously a name? no right... must be a joke...

Ada is not related to any other name in other languages. Ada means "island" in Turkish.
You would read Ada by stressing the first syllable in English whereas in Turkish both syllables are equal in length the second one is slightly emphatic. Like Uh-´duh.

Here is what I found for the name Ada:
in German it means noble kind, of the noble sort
in Hebrew it means adorment
in African it means eldest daughter

What they are saying is that it doesnt relate to any other language because ADA is the actual turkish noun for island. İt would be like naming you child Apple in America.

Nobody said Ada in Turkish was related to other Ada´s People just mentioned that it was a name present in different cultures and languages as well. And in Dutch the name is pronounced the same as in Turkish, even though it has nothing to do with islands over here (I have no idea what the uh du thing was about )

I don´t think Ada was used as Turkish name until recently. It´s probably a copying from the other languages. Yes it has a meaning in Turkish and sounds good as a name.

I think Ada is a good Turkish name to go "international"... if you have international plans for your kid, it might be wise not to give it a name with ç or other "turkish" letters that don´t work well abroad. I guess nowadays you have to keep in mind also what names mean abroad. One of my cousin´s called her daughter Natasja... I think she might get some strange looks if she ever goes to Turkey...

Natasha was formerly an American fantasy. It was the name of the sexy Russian spy of adventure books. Natasha was almost synonymous with the cold, exotic and dangerous but equally desirable female character. Today there are companies promoting Russian brides seeking American husbands; so, there is no need anymore for the book.

what is the meaning of this names?
first of all, oz and öz are different
özge özlem özgül özgü özberk
but ozan (no ö (poet)
öz means genuine or own. basically you can always attach a word to öz and make a name
özgül (the genuine rose )
öznur (the genuine light)
etc
but not all of them are like that. sometimes it is not a separate word
özge:distinctive
özlem:longing
özberk is not a name (at least I have never heard), but it exists as a family name e.g. Özge Özberk

I don´t say it because it is my name but Meltem is one of the best female names . Thank you my parents.
other than it, I like female names with the ending "em" like Sinem, Didem, Çiğdem...
But to say the truth, it is the person who makes his/her name beautiful.

I know someone who had a baby girl and named her Natasha. Her surname is Kaltak (father is Bosnian). I don´t think it´s a particularly good combination if she ever visits Turkey.

Hülya
Yavuz, Alper, Zeki (ok one Arabic name also)
Zeki=intelligent
Alp er = Brave soldier
Yavuz= capable
Hülya is not Turkish also, i guess it is also arabic,
hülya is plural of hayal= dream,
its Turkish is düş
İ like Barış name because of its meaning =Peace
İ like also Emre name,meaning Lover. it reminds me Yunus Emre.
