Hope you do not use Internet sites for popular baby names. I've found many wrong explanations there. I offer my help too, for I have some very good etymology dictionaries, including dictionary of names.
Regards

Quoting erdinc:
Berk
Emre
Burak |
TDK says Berk is Turkish and also an Arabic noun means ligtning.
Emre is also very old.
Burak is fully Arabic. The riding of Muhammed, which brought him to the mi'raj (to sky).

Duran is neither a popular nor a good name (i think).
Sait comes from Arabic, means peaceful person if we think that it comes from the word "saadet". By the way, your definition says "holy".
Mehmet is the Turkish version of Muhammed. I read something about that. As you know Muhammed is the prophet of Islam. After Turks converted Islam after the Talas War between Chinese and Arabs, they find this religion is very adaptable for them. So they comverted Islam. So they loved the name of the prophet Muhammed and they gave this name to their boys. By the way, I remember here two different ideas.
One says: it becomes/changed by years as Mehmet (but I dont think so because that means Turks are muslim but they dont know the name of their prophet truely, so i dont agree with it.)
The other says: Muhammed is very high value name, so they think that this must be very special, but they wanted also to give the name too, so they used Mehmet instead of Muhammed.
Both seem intresting for me. I am not sure, maybe Mehmet is also completely Arabic too?

İsmail is the prophet's name. Maybe Christians say Ismael? He was the son of İbrahim (Abraham).
Furkan means 1) the holy book of Islam: "Kur'an-ı Kerim" (Quran)
2) the pointer the difference between good and bad.
Muzaffer comes also from Arabic like İsmail and Furkan. It comes from another Arabic male name: Zafer.
Zafer means victory, Muzaffer means victorious.
Murat is also Arabic, means desire or aim, target, ideal, goal
By the way, what names starts with ö?
Ökkeş? 
Ömer is also Arabic, means life

Rica ederim, you are welcome.
Duran, as you wrote, means something like "calm". But just, it is not common; and sounds like other the meaningless names:
satılmış: sold
döndü: turned back
duran: stopping << another meaning.
if your friend is ok with his name, there is no problem. just looks like some funny and meaningless with the others.
