Meaning and origin of Cigdem
Çiğdem is the Turkish name for the crocus, among the first flowers to bloom as winter ends. The ğ is silent and only lengthens the vowel before it, so the name is said roughly as chee-dem. Between the 1960s and the 1980s it was one of the top choices for baby girls in Turkey, which is why it is especially common among women born before 1990.
