Bengisu is a historically attested Turkish feminine name composed of 'bengü' (Old Turkic: eternal/everlasting) and 'su' (Turkish: water). It conveys the concept of 'eternal water' or 'water of life', a metaphor found in Turkic poetic traditions and later Ottoman-era usage. The name is relatively rare in modern name statistics, favored for its lyrical quality and cultural resonance in Turkey and among Turkic-speaking families. Related names and variants include [[Bengüsu]] and [[Bengi]], which share the 'bengü' root. Bengisu is culturally neutral in Islamic naming practice (it does not invoke divine names) and therefore is commonly acceptable among Muslim families in Turkish contexts.
