Meaning and origin of Gizem
Gizem means mystery in modern Turkish, and it is built from gizli, meaning hidden. Turkish parents started giving it to daughters in the 1970s, and it soon became very common. That was part of a broader trend for names drawn from pure Turkish vocabulary rather than from Arabic or Persian. Despite having no Arabic root, it sits comfortably in Muslim homes in Turkey and among Turks abroad.
