What is the meaning of the name Cemre ?

The baby name Cemre is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒem.re/ (Turkish); approx. "JEM-reh".

Cemre is Turkish in Origin.

Cemre is a Turkish given name of Arabic origin, from jamra/jamrah meaning “ember” or “live coal.” In Anatolian folk belief, cemre denotes the trio of “embers” said to fall in late winter - first to the air, then water, then earth - bringing steady warmth and signaling the approach of spring. The name thus carries connotations of warmth, revival, and the gentle turning of the seasons.

As a given name, Cemre is used mainly for girls in Turkey and among Turkish-speaking communities, though it can be unisex. Its use rose notably in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and appears in contemporary literature, music, and television. Variants and cognates include Arabic Jamra/Jamrah, Azerbaijani Cəmrə, and transcriptions such as Jemre in Western contexts. Related seasonal expressions include cemre düşmesi (“the falling of the embers”), often referenced in poetry and folk calendars.
