Name meaning and origin
Nurlan is a compound name formed by adding the suffix -lan, which Azerbaijani uses to derive verbs from nouns, to the Arabic word nur (light) of Arabic origin, and literally means to become illuminated, to radiate light, to shine. The feminine form Nurlanə is formed in the same way.
Some non-Azerbaijani sources also link the second part of the word with the word boy (young boy) in Turkic languages; under this reading the name is understood as a radiant young man, and both explanations converge on the meaning of light and brilliance. Nurlan is a modern masculine name widely used in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan as well as Azerbaijan.
