Persian name edit

It is claimed that her origin is disputed and it is stressed that In particular, her Ottoman name Nilüfer meaning water lily in Persian language suggests that she may have been a Persian concubine. Well Persian name does not mean that she was of Persian origin. Because in Ottoman harem it was a tradition to use Persian names for the converts and the slave girls. So the name Nilüfer suggests nothing about her origin. Nedim Ardoğa 14:13, 8 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
