Asli is a Turkish unisex given name. It is derived from the Turkish noun aslı whose meanings include genuine, authentic, and the essence.[citation needed] It is used as a nickname for the heroine in the 16th-century Turkic tale "Kerem ile Aslı"[1][2][3] after the hero asks her ""Why do you want me to leave you? What is the essence of your wish?” (“Aslı” means “essence”).
