Name meaning and origin
Gulgez is formed from the combination of the Persian-origin words gul (flower) and gəz (tamarisk tree) and literally means the flower of the tamarisk tree. The same gəz root is also used in other Azerbaijani girl names such as Aygez and Ulgez, which shows that the word holds a fixed place in the naming model.
The name became widely known in Azerbaijani oral literature thanks to the heroine of the epic "Abbas and Gulgez", based on the poems of the ashik Abbas Tufarqanlı; in the epic, Gulgez is portrayed as the ashik's beloved. Moreover, the existence of folk poetesses named Gulgez, known for their bayati verse, shows that the name lived among the people for a long time.
