Meaning and origin of Nehir
Nehir is the Turkish word for a river, and Turkish borrowed it from the Arabic nahr. The root n-h-r is about flowing. Turkish parents began choosing it for daughters in the 1990s, bringing to mind freshness and steady movement. Because it traces back to the Arabic for river, it quietly recalls the Quranic picture of rivers running beneath the gardens of Paradise.
