Yuksel is Turkish in Origin.
Yuksel is the ASCII spelling of the Turkish name Yüksel, from the verb yükselmek "to rise, to be elevated," itself related to the adjective yüksek "high." As a given name it functions like the imperative "Rise!" and carries associations of aspiration, progress, dignity, and success. In Turkey it is used predominantly for men but can be unisex.
It came to prominence in the mid-20th century during the Republican era's preference for modern, native Turkish virtue and action names, and it is also a common surname. The form Yüksel is standard in Turkey; Yuksel appears internationally; Yueksel occurs in German contexts, and Azerbaijani uses Yüksəl. Related forms include the noun Yükseliş ("ascent") and the causative verb yükselt- ("to raise"), which sometimes inspire compound surnames and company names.
