Does your NAME have a meaning? Are you happy with your name? 😊 .
.
This is actually a serious question. .
My name is ZEYNEP and it means precious, father’s jewel/ jewellry. It is a very very popular name in the Muslim culture, as even Prophet Muhammads daughters and wives were named Zeynep. 🇹🇷 .
.
Now growing up in a country (Germany) where my name was very rare and most people couldn’t even pronounce my name, I honestly was struggling with my name and thought about changing it. .
.
Ever since I have been living in this multicultural city, London, 🇬🇧 with people all over the world, I got to know to love my name and be proud of my roots. It’s this city where I meet people from different nationalities and they all made me confident to love my name. I never experienced this before... it’s a beautiful thing to respect other cultures and traditions. 💞🙏 .

What about you?
Did you have the same experience? .
