Mavera

Origin

Mâverâ is a term that entered Turkish from the Arabic expression mā warāʾ (ما وراء), meaning “that which is behind or beyond.”

This expression is constructed from the Arabic word warāʾ (وراء), meaning “beyond” or “behind,” combined with the element mā, and its core meaning is defined through the concept of “that which exists behind or beyond something.”
