lales

Lales is a term that can refer to multiple distinct subjects that share the same spelling. In Turkish, lale means tulip; the standard plural is laleler. The form lales does not conform to Turkish pluralization and is generally not used in native Turkish texts, though it may appear in transliterations or in names influenced by Turkish language.

As a proper noun, Lales has been used as a surname in various cultures and as a toponym or organizational name in regions with historical Turkish, Spanish, or Filipino influences. The lack of a single dominant meaning means that the intended reference for Lales is determined by context, including accompanying identifiers such as given names, locations, or organizational affiliations.
