Bedriye

Bedriye (Turkish: Bedriye; Arabic root: بدر) is a historically attested feminine name used in Ottoman and Turkic Muslim communities. It derives from the Arabic noun 'badr' meaning 'full moon', with a feminine adjectival form often rendered in Arabic as Badriyya/Badriyyah (بدرية). Bedriye preserves that lunar imagery in Turkish phonology and has been used for centuries as a poetic personal name. The name emphasizes radiance, beauty, and illumination in classical Islamic onomastics; it is therefore grouped with other lunar and celestial names such as [[Badriyya]] and [[Badria]]. Bedriye is not a Qur'anic name (no verse reference) but is fully grounded in Arabic morphology and historical Ottoman usage; it appears in archival records and family registers of Turkic-speaking Muslim populations. Suitable for families wanting a rare, culturally authentic Islamic female name with clear linguistic provenance.
