Help[Facts] I need some Turkish name experts - meanings of several names :)
Thanks for helping!
Arven - I wonder if this was derived from Arwen or whether it is a completely unrelated Turkish name
Hazal - does it really mean 'dried and spilled tree leaves'? I love that meaning but it seems very particular to me.
Miray - I know that 'ay' means 'moon' and 'Mirac' means 'miracle', could it be a combination of these two?
Aybige
Beren
Gökce - the meaning again seems a bit much to me so I wonder if it is true
Tuana - see above
Do these names have Turkish roots? They appeared in the Turkish top 100. I know Ada has a Turkish meaning as well but what about these? And if they don't where does their popularity come from? They only entered recently and from what I've seen in the other decades Turkish people generally don't use foreign names except for those deriving from Persian or Arabic sources:
Elisa
Mila
Arya
Lina
Mira
Mina

Arven - it is probably a modern name based on Arwen since we isn't part of our alphabet
Hazal - yes the meaning is correct and is given by TDK - Turkish Language Association
Miray - from Persian Mir (master) and Turkish Ay (moon) doesn't have any connections with Miraç
Aybige - from Ay (moon) and bige (lady)
Beren - means generous
Gökçe - related to blue, sky blue etc. I don't know what specific meaning you talk about here
Tuana - Tuana/Tyana/Tuvana/Tuanna is the old name of Kemerhisar/Niğde, the Persian meaning is wrong
Except Elisa and Mila, other names are Persian and that's why they are used, but Greek, Circassian, Lazuri names are used in Turkey as well.

Not at all an expert, but I checked these in submissions (mainly curious about the meanings you referred to but didn't list) and can at least confirm at in the case of Gökçe, 'gök' does mean either 'sky' or 'blue' (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/g%C3%B6k), so the meaning is at least half right (I also updated that submission for clearer formatting).
Hazal (not Hazar?) has 3 stars and should be accurate. The meaning came from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazal_(name), which then cites this page that does not load for me:

Thank you! Yes, sorry, Hazar was a typo, I already corrected it a few minutes ago.
