Sabuhi

Sabuhi comes from the root səbah (morning) in Arabic, meaning something belonging to or associated with dawn. The word sabuh, which in classical Persian poetry refers to the wine-gathering held in the early morning, also derives from the same root, and this poetic resonance left its mark on the Ottoman-Azerbaijani divan tradition. Thus Sabuhi has been used both in the everyday sense of 'of the dawn' and in literary circles as a word tied to the freshness of morning.

The most famous bearer of this name is Mirza Fatali Axundzadə, a 19th-century Azerbaijani educator, playwright and philosopher; he signed his poems under the pen name Sabuhi. As an independent given name, it is still given to boys in Azerbaijan today, and it is a simple name with no religious content and a clear meaning.
