Turkish
There are many Turkish names which are unisex. These names are almost always pure Turkish names (i.e. not Turkified Arabic names that have an Islamic connotation) that derive from Turkish words. These names may either be modern names or be derived from Turkic mythology. Among the common examples of the many unisex names in Turkey include, Aytaç, Deniz, Derya, Evren, Evrim, Özgür, Turhan, or Yücel. And unlike English unisex names, most Turkish unisex names are traditionally used for both sexes. However some unisex names are used more for one sex (for example, Derya is used more for girls whereas Özgür is used more for boys).
