Bengü (بنگو/بەنگو in various transliterations) is a woman’s name of Turkic origin built on the Old Turkic root bengu / bengü meaning 'eternal' or 'age‑lasting'. The lexical root is attested in Turkic vocabularies and later Turkish usage; as a given name it has been used among Ottoman and modern Turkish-speaking Muslim families as a poetic, somewhat rare feminine name. Bengü carries connotations of continuity, memory, and endurance rather than religious liturgy; it complements names that evoke permanence and beauty such as [[Bengi]] and [[Nilüfer]]. It is not a Quranic name (Quranic reference: ""). In contemporary usage it is spelled Bengü or Bengu in Latin script; pronunciation retains the front rounded vowel ü typical of Turkish phonology.
