Full Meaning of Eismet

Eismet is the Turkish pronunciation of the Arabic word ismah. It is an indirect Quranic name for boys and girls that means “highness”, “majesty”, “purity from sin”. In the Ayyubid era Isma used to be a title for noblewomen, such as Eismet ad-Deen Khatun, wife of Saladin. Eismet is derived from the AIN-SAD-M root which is used in a number of places in the Quran.

Said she: “This, then, is he about whom you have been blaming me! And, indeed, I did try to make him yield himself unto me, but he remained chaste. Now, however, if he does not do what I bid him, he shall most certainly be imprisoned, and shall most certainly find himself among the despised! (Quran 12:32)
