Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Zeynep je turecká podoba arabského ženského mena Zaynab (زينب). Arabské východisko tureckej podoby je doložené, hlbšia etymológia mena Zaynab však nie je jednoznačná. Významy spojené s voňavým stromom či ozdobou otca preto nemožno prezentovať ako jediný overený preklad.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia: Behind the Name – Zaynab. Slovenská nesklonnosť vyplýva zo všeobecného pravidla pre cudzie ženské mená zakončené na spoluhlásku: Morfológia slovenského jazyka, s. 123. Výslovnosť: Kaikki – Zeynep. Uvedené medzinárodné podoby zachovávajú turecký zápis, nepredstavujú osobitné domáce ekvivalenty. Ustálené slovenské zdrobneniny neboli overené, preto je ich pole prázdne. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo overené.
