Feriye is Turkish in Origin.
Feriye is a rare Turkish feminine name with Ottoman roots. It comes from Ottoman Turkish fer’iye, ultimately from Arabic farʿ “branch, offshoot” plus the feminine suffix -iyya, and means “secondary, auxiliary; relating to a branch,” figuratively “offspring, descendant.” In modern Turkish the word is best known from the Feriye Palaces in Istanbul - auxiliary residences of the imperial household - which helped preserve the term.
As a given name it has modest use in Turkey since late Ottoman times, valued for its soft sound and historical flavor. Variants and transliterations include Fer’iyye and Feriye; Feriya appears as a modern spelling. It is sometimes confused with Feraye or Feray, Persian–Turkish names meaning “moon brightness,” but those are etymologically distinct.
