Meaning and history

Özge is a Turkish feminine name from the Turkish word özge, meaning “different,” “distinct,” or “other.” It can suggest individuality or uniqueness. The initial Ö is a separate Turkish vowel and should be preserved; writing Ozge loses part of the standard spelling. The name is lexical rather than a reconstructed ancient compound. Notable bearers include Turkish actors Özge Özpirinçci and Özge Gürel, both known for film and television work.
