Gullar

Gullar is a term that may refer to multiple uses in different contexts, and there is no single, universally recognized definition in English. In Turkic-language contexts, the root gül means “rose.” The standard Turkish plural is güller and the standard Azerbaijani plural is güllər. In texts that omit diacritics or use non-Turkic transliteration, these forms can appear in various spellings, and the exact rendering can differ between sources. Because of this, some discussions or bibliographic entries may surface the form “gullar” as a non-standard or transliteration variant, though it is not the normative spelling in either language.

As a proper noun, Gullar can be encountered as a surname among Turkish- and Azerbaijani-speaking communities. It may also appear as a place name in regions influenced by Turkic languages, though such uses are less consistently documented in international reference works.

Culturally, the related word gül is deeply embedded in poetry and symbolism across Turkish and related cultures, where roses are commonly associated with beauty and love. Discussions of gül and its plurals often appear in literary contexts, decorative naming, and folk traditions.
