Eslem

Eslem is a Turkish feminine given name of Arabic origin. It is ultimately derived from the Arabic verb ʾaslama (أسْلم), which means "to submit" or "to surrender". This verb is the root of the Islamic term islām, the concept of submission to God's will.

The name Eslem is not widely used outside of Turkey and is considered relatively modern in Turkish naming practices. It reflects a trend in Turkish culture of adopting names with religious or spiritual connotations, often derived from Arabic and Persian loanwords. While the name is not associated with any notable historical figures in Western sources, it may appear in contemporary Turkish contexts.
