Help[Facts] "Turiya"
I did not find the Name Turiya here.
Famous Turiyas are e.g.:
Turiya Alice Coltrane (american jazz-singer) and
Turiya Hanover (Wibke, Princess from Hannover)
It is an official given name, it derives from Sanskrit (it roughly means "highest consciousness")

Actually, this Vedic word (cognate with Avestan khtuiriya which makes its cognacy with the first part of Latin quartus easy to see) just means fourth. In the Upanishadic literature the fourth state of the spirit was the highest, impersonal state, and, hence the above meaning.
