Kuchych

Kuchych (Kuuy, Kuchka, Kuchula, Chicha, etc.) is a female name of Turkic origin, literally meaning "beauty," "maiden," "perfection," or "virginity." Speakers of Slavic languages may perceive this name as exotic and uncommon upon hearing it, but its meaning is deeply connected to the concept of beauty and virginity. The origin of the name should be sought in Turkic languages, where "kuy" or "kuch" means "eye" (in Kazakh, it is "kuy"), and the suffix "ych" or "ich" adds the privileged status of "girl with beautiful eyes" or simply "girl." Although the etymological link to "beauty" or "virginity" is not always unequivocal, it is likely an inanimate suffix that imparts the meaning of "girl" or "beauty of the girl."
