شكرية
Şükriye is a feminine name used in Turkish-speaking Muslim communities and is derived from the Arabic root shukr (شكر, 'thanks, gratitude') with a feminine ending. The name signals the religiously admired quality of gratitude (shukr) which is repeatedly encouraged in the Quran and Islamic tradition; while Şükriye itself is not a Quranic proper noun it expresses a virtue closely connected to scriptural exhortations. The male cognate Şükrü or Shukri is better known; Şükriye is rarer and preserves an Ottoman/Turkish morphology and cultural usage. In comparative onomastics it aligns with names formed from moral virtues and is related to names such as [[Shukriya]] and [[Sukriye]] in various transliterations. Pronunciation: shuk-RI-yeh (IPA: /ʃukˈriː.je/).
