Meaning and history
İpek is a Turkish feminine name taken directly from the Turkish word ipek, meaning “silk.” It evokes the valuable textile historically traded across Asia and Europe, but softness and elegance are associations rather than separate literal meanings. The dotted capital İ is a distinct Turkish letter and should be preserved. Notable bearers include Turkish tennis player İpek Soylu and Turkish actor İpek Bilgin. The name is unrelated to similarly spelled forms in languages without Turkish vowel harmony.
