Name meaning and origin
Shura is a word of Arabic origin that means consultation, deliberation, and gathering; the root also conveys the idea of resolving matters through joint discussion. The word appears directly in the name of Surah Shura (the 42nd surah) and in its 38th verse, in the phrase “conduct their affairs by mutual consultation.”
In Turkey Shura is still a name given to thousands of people today and carries the wish for unity and solidarity. Although it is better known in Azerbaijan as an administrative term, it can also be used as a girl name, and its connection to the Quran lends it a special meaning.
