Name meaning and origin
The name Cansu comes from combining two Turkic words: can (life, soul) and su. Water has always been regarded as a symbol of freshness, purity, and flow, and combined with can, this compound name forms the meaning of water of life. It took shape in Turkey in the mid-20th century and spread from there to Azerbaijan.
Forming part of the group of names ending in "su" such as Aysu, Tansu, and Alsu, Cansu is today among the girl names loved by modern parents in both Turkey and Azerbaijan. The well-known Turkic actress Cansu Dere is one of the famous bearers of this name; since the name is formed from independent Turkic words, there is no religious obstacle to bearing it.
