Meaning and origin of Aybike
Aybike is a compound of two Turkish words. Ay means moon, and bike is an old Turkic title for a lady of rank, a noblewoman or princess, usually linked with the masculine title beg or bey. Together they give 'moon lady' or 'lady as beautiful as the moon'. In Turkish poetry and naming the moon stands for beauty, calm light and purity, so the name is a compliment rather than a literal description, praising both grace and dignity.
Names beginning with ay- are among the most characteristic Turkish girls' names, from Aysel and Aygül ('moon rose') to Ayça. Aybike has an old-fashioned, almost courtly feel because of the title bike, which recalls noblewomen of the Turkic past. After a period when it was seldom given, it has returned to favour in Turkey in recent years, as many parents look again at traditional Turkish names. It is pronounced eye-bee-KEH, and it is sometimes confused with the similar-sounding Aybüke, which families may treat as a separate name.
