Yunus emre Origin and Meaning

The name Yunus emre is a boy's name meaning "friendly dove".

More popular in Turkey than either Yunus or Emre independently, this double-barreled first name is given in reference to the influential 13th- and 14th-century Turkish poet. Yunus Emre was a Sufi mystic and Sunni Muslim and was one of the earliest Turkish poets to write in Turkish rather than Arabic or Persian.
