Aybüke is a common feminine Turkish given name. The name has the meaning "very intelligent woman (queen), as beautiful and bright as the moon".
"büke" is an ancient Turkic mythological dragon[1] that is the protector, warrior and the defender of the moon. In the old Turkic language "ü" and "ö" are the same letter. It is said in the folklore that they named the moon's reflection on the water "böke", which is also the root of the word "bükmek" (to bend) in Turkish.[2] Therefore the meaning of the name is the moon dragon and/or the moon bender.
