Marvin and Mabel
are at it again over
Turkish First Names,
Personal Names, Given Names

Turkish people have kind'a strange lookin' and soundin' names, don'tcha think, Marvin?
You can say thet again, Mabel.
Fer instance...
I reckon Habibullah is the odds-on favorite to
win the 'Weird Name Contest' this year at
Motel 7's Turkish Bazaar Night.

Hmmm. That is a mysterious one, Marv.
But, shouldn't we consult Uncle Parcival and
Aunt Begonia Snoddy before we become too critical?
They might provide some rare insight
concernin' the subject of 'freaky names'...

Mebbe. But there's more to consider, such as...
who can ever tell the difference
between a Turkish boy's and a Turkish girl's name.
Lots of 'em, take Deniz if'n ya' like... are used by both sexes.

Hmmm... Isn't that an English-language oddity too?
I heard Grandpa Lorin Johnson mention it to
to Sister Lorin Liddy at the church social last week, Marvin.

Or, some are so similar like Abbas and Abbase, that...
You've problee got a point there, Marv.
But mebbe we should invite a comment from
Sheriff Louis Hogg or his pretty wife Louise
before we go overboard...

An' some even give confusing gender clues --
or no gender clues at all. Like Züheyr and Adalet...

Well ain't you the observant one, Marv.
Still... I'd better call Shirley Plunkett.
He's sure to know something about that...
Meanwhile, why don't you get on the line
to Duckworth Phillips...

Consider it done, Mabel.
Are we gonna set up an investigatin' committee or somethin' ??

Yessir. I intend to get to the bottom of this, Marv --
even if'n it's the last thing you do.

The last thing say wha'...?


There's something special about those
Turkish First Names,
Personal Names, Given Names

In 'Western' countries, the etymology of 'Christian names'
has been fodder for countless books --
which all seem to sell well enough,
though none may actually reach 'best seller' status.
It turns out that Turkish 'given names' are
equally fascinating to native Turks.
And if you've got a Turkish friend, soul mate, lover, or spouse --
Turkish names may be of interest to you too.
Some are very curious indeed,
and we cover all of the modern popular ones below
-- at least we do on our CD --
as well as many that have interesting historical connections.
But if you've got a specific 'given name'
that you'd like us to research for you,
please just drop us a line.
We'll make every effort to include it for you in this handy
Plain English Dictionary of Turkish 'Given Names'.
