doga

Doga, often written Doğa in Turkish, is a word that primarily means nature or the natural world. In Turkish, doğa is used across everyday language as well as in scientific, geographic, and cultural contexts to refer to the physical environment and its phenomena. The diacritic over the g (ğ) indicates a soft consonant and vowel lengthening, and the standard Turkish pronunciation approximates "doh-uh" or "dohg-uh" depending on context. When Turkish text is rendered without diacritics, it appears as Doga.

As a given name in Turkey, Doğa is used for both boys and girls and is associated with the idea of nature. It appears in contemporary Turkish literature, film, and media as a personal name.

In non-Turkish contexts, the form Doga is sometimes used in branding, product names, or titles intended to evoke natural qualities such as sustainability, outdoor life, or natural ingredients. The spelling without diacritics is common in international databases, catalogs, or online platforms.

Doğa has cultural resonance in Turkish poetry and discourse, where nature is a recurring theme tied to beauty, fertility, and the environment. In academic and international discussions, the term is often encountered in discussions of Turkish language, onomastics, or etymology.
