Turkish names in alphabetical order. Turkish male names

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character, aura and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?

Although there are cultural interpretations of what they mean male names, in reality, the influence of the name on each boy is individual.

Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.

Calendars of Christmastide and holy people, without consulting a seeing, insightful specialist, do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.

And lists of ... popular, happy, beautiful, melodious male names completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, soul of the child and turn the selection procedure into an irresponsible game of parents in fashion, selfishness and ignorance.

Beautiful and modern Turkish names should first of all suit the child, and not the relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.

Various characteristics according to statistics - positive features name, negative traits name, choice of profession by name, the influence of a name on business, the influence of a name on health, the psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of subtle plans (karma), energy structure, life goals and the type of a particular child.

The topic of name compatibility (and not people’s characters) is an absurdity that turns interactions inside out different people internal mechanisms of influence of a name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.

The meaning of the name has no literal impact. For example, Kudret (power, strength) does not mean that the young man will be strong, and the bearers of other names will be weak. The name can weaken his health, block his heart center and he will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another boy will be helped to solve problems of love or power, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third boy may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics.

The most popular Turkish names for boys are also a misconception. 95% of boys are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only rely on the child’s innate character, spiritual vision and wisdom of an experienced specialist.

The secret of a man's name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration, is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of the name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.

Below is a list of Turkish names. Try to choose several that you think are most suitable for your child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate, .

No matter how surprising it may sound, until the 20th century, residents of Turkey did not have surnames. Until 1934, the country used an Arabic naming system, which was very difficult to understand, especially for foreigners. This system is represented by a long chain of several names.

But on June 21, 1934, the “Law on Surnames” was approved in the Turkish state, after which each resident was named own name and last name. Another innovation was adopted on November 26 of the same year: the law “On the abolition of prefixes to names in the form of nicknames and titles” was established. Since that time, no changes have occurred regarding Turkish names and surnames.

So what are they like in Turkey today? What do Turkish surnames mean?

The most common Turkish surnames

Surnames in the country have appeared not so long ago, so most of them are the same names, for example, Kaplan- tiger.

Turkish surnames are written in one word. They are transmitted exclusively through the paternal line, from father to children. But if children are born outside of an official marriage, then they are given the maternal surname.

When a woman gets married, she is obliged to take her husband's surname. But she also has the right to keep her maiden name. At the same time, in documents she must write her maiden name before her husband’s last name. In case of divorce, a woman can keep her husband's surname.

Yilmaz. Translated into Russian it means “unstoppable”. This surname comes from the given name. It is the most common in the country. It's the same as Ivanov in Russia.
Kilych- saber.
Kuchuk- small.
Tatlybal - sweet Honey. This is one of the few beautiful Turkish surnames that are ideal for girls.

There are several other common surnames in Turkey: Kaya, Demir, Sahin and Celik, Yildiz, Yildirim, Ozturk, Aydin, Ozdemir, Arslan, Dogan, Aslan, Çetin, Kara, Koç, Kurt, Ozkan, Şimşek.

Rare names

In Turkey there are also names that you practically never see in everyday life. Their rarity lies in the fact that they cannot be called newborns. And in most cases the ban is imposed by religion.

Such names include:

Haffaw;
Dasim;
Aguar;
Walha.

What is the justification for the ban on names? The thing is that in Turkish mythology they were called evil spirits and demons. But no matter how strange it may sound, Turks do not name their children after angels and saints. But here the prohibition acts as respect for the “heavenly inhabitants.” In addition, words related to the description of Allah are excluded as names.

There is one more prohibition. Residents of Turkey do not have the right to give their children Western names and it is believed that a true Muslim must bear the name permitted by his culture and religion. And if it is also noted in the Koran, then it is considered sacred and revered.

Origin of names and surnames

Most Turkish surnames are derived from given names. And the names, as can be judged from those listed earlier, are the names of plants, animals, heavenly bodies, varieties of character, etc. In addition, in Turkey it is customary to name newborns in honor of departed ancestors or famous persons of the country.

Another first name, and subsequently a surname, was given based on what time of day or day of the week the child was born. The name could be a natural phenomenon or element that raged at the time of birth.

They often have surnames that symbolize luck, hope, joy, health, or wealth. It's not uncommon to meet a person with double surname, inherited from both his mother and father. Sometimes the combination of such surnames forms a successful, beautiful tandem.

Conclusion

The name is a person’s “companion” from birth. It remains even after his death. This is what reflects the character and abilities of a person. Therefore, all parents are especially careful when choosing a name.

It can glorify, or it can discredit. In any case, the name plays an important role in human destiny. This is also important in the Muslim faith, which is why newborns are given names with “positive energy” and the use of negative ones with a negative translation is completely excluded, even prohibited.

Many Turkish names for boys are of Arabic, Turkish (Turkic) or Persian origin. For example, the most popular male name in Turkey, Mehmed, is the Arabic name Muhammad, which in Arabic means “worthy of praise.” The same applies to Turkish surnames. At the same time, there are names that can also act as a surname. Most Turkish names are associated with the time of birth of the baby - with the day of the week or holiday. For example, the name Juma, popular in Turkey, means “Friday”; Ramadan is the holiday “Ramadan”.

It should be noted that many Turkish names for boys were taken from the Quran. Also in the Turkish name book there are names of epic or historical heroes, And politicians, such as: Abdullah, Abdurrahman, Akhmet, Ali, Bekir, Mehmed, Mustafa, Omer, Resul. In addition, there are also names derived from geographical, climatic, astronomical features: Dag - “mountain”, Gek - “sky”, Deniz - “sea”, Ay - “moon”, Gun - “day”, Yildiz - “star”, Gunesh - “sun”, Yildirim - “lightning”, Firat - "Euphrates", Dijle - "Tiger", Tuna - "Danube", Meric - "Evros".

The birth of a child is considered one of the most significant events in the life of every person. Turkish families are no exception. They approach the issue of naming their descendants with special responsibility, remembering the words of Muhammad, one of the main prophets of Muslims, who ordered to name their children beautiful names. There is even famous saying, which reads: “It’s not scary if a person is born with an unfavorable fate, but it’s scary if he gets a bad name.” This saying belongs to Chinese philosophers, but it can be applied to absolutely all nations.

Men deserve special attention. After all, they occupy a dominant position in every Muslim family. Therefore, choosing a nickname for a boy is an important event.

History of names

Until the beginning of the 20th century, residents of Turkey did not have surnames. But on June 21, 1934, Mustafa Kemal, the then ruler of the country, passed a law, thanks to which every resident of the republic was obliged to receive a surname. A few months later, it was decided to abolish additions to names in the form of nicknames and regalia. Thus, the ruler himself began to bear the surname Ataturk, which translated means “father of the Turks”

Origin

Along with women's, men's are mainly of Arabic or Turkish origin. Any given name or surname has a translation. Muhammad, for example, is translated as “worthy of praise”, Deniz – “sea”, Tarkan – “feudal lord”.

Very often in Turkish families boys are named by the day of the week, time of day or significant event when they were born. For example, babies born on the holy holiday of all Muslims, Ramadan, are called Ramadan or Ramadan. Boys who came into the world at dawn are often called Shafak (“dawn”), but Tan (“twilight”) are called those born in the evening.

Quite a lot of names formed from geographical names, astronomical, climatic and natural phenomena– Gök – “sky”, Pinar – “Pinar”, Yildiz – “star”, Yildirim – “lightning”.

It is a common habit to name boys after historical and political figures, mythological characters and military leaders. After all, every parent wants his son to become famous, to grow up brave and noble. These include: Ali, Omer, Abdurakhman, Mustafa, Bekir.

What is it forbidden to call children in Turkey?

Some names are undesirable to give to boys in Turkey. And believing Muslims completely prohibit their use. These include:

belonging to the Almighty Creator. The article al is usually added to them: al-Ahad (The Only One), al-Khaliq (the Creator);
containing the meaning of submission to something or anyone other than the Almighty;
the so-called names of the devils: Haffav (“frightening people”), Walha (“leading to doubt”), as well as Akbas, Dasim, Aguar, Matrash, Dahar, Tamrikh;
in honor of the pharaohs and similar to them - Pharaoh, Namrud, Karun;
in honor of idols, the number of which is 360, for example, Vada, Suvag, Yaguk;
in honor of the angels;
Aflah (“prosperous”) and Yasar (“to the left”);
praising a person: Yzge (“holy”);
European - Albert, Helmut, Adolf and many others.

With the advent of socialism in the Turkish Republic, some parents began to give borrowed names to their sons. However, believing Muslims call children only originally Turkish and Arabic names, which are in the Koran, as they highly respect the history and religion of their people.
