@buray.bsky.socialLiterally "blue sky", as far as I understand. "God" seems to be the personification of it. And "blue" (gök) just replaced the word for sky.
Show PostI think we can translate it as "gök tanrı", because "tengri" is said to be the ancient Turkish word for "sky".
Show Post"blue sky" can be translated to turkish as "mavi gök". but the modern turkish word for blue ("mavi") is actually from arabic "ma'i" ("waterlike"). the turkic word for blue is the same for sky: "gök". so, in order to say "bluesky", you had to say "gökgök" in old turkic and it'd be quite redundant.
