What is the meaning of the name Buket ?

The baby name Buket is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /buˈket/ (boo-KET).

Buket is Turkish in Origin.

Buket is a modern Turkish feminine given name derived from the French word bouquet, adopted into Turkish during the late Ottoman and early Republican periods amid strong Francophone cultural influence. In Turkish, buket literally denotes a bouquet or posy of flowers and, by extension, the pleasing aroma "bouquet" of wine or perfume, giving the name connotations of grace, beauty, and refined scent.

Used steadily since the mid-20th century, Buket gained visibility through figures such as novelist Buket Uzuner. It appears among Turkish communities in Europe as well as in Turkey, retaining the same spelling in Latin script. While true orthographic variants are rare, related Turkish name choices with similar imagery include Demet ("bunch"), Gül ("rose"), and Menekşe ("violet"). A common nickname is Buki. The name’s cross-linguistic path (French bouquet into Turkish buket) adds a cosmopolitan flair while remaining distinctly Turkish in usage.
