Quoting gezbelle: does it matter if the name originated from arabic or turkish??
 |
To some people it does. Turkish people "encountered" Arab people a little over 1000 a years ago. Those people had names that some want to carry forward.
For example, I didn't want my first son to have a name from the christian Bible. I wanted him to have a "Viking' name.

Quoting caliptrix: Quoting gezbelle: ...ismail is arabic in origin, but i do know it is used in turkey as a boy's name...
...does this count as a turkish boys name? or is it not turkish enough?? |
Yes, it is Turkish. |
You may know Turkish language but not history!
"The Koran says that Abraham took his elder son, Ishmael, to be sacrificed"
This event occured thousands of years before the Turks "encountered" arabs.

caliptrix is turkish...and ishmael is generally perceived as a turkish name..i only know turkish people called ishmael the origins of the name are no longer as important in choosing names..in my opinion anyway..

I don't mean to take sides but as far as I am aware Ismail was originally Arabic ....إسماعيل but either way, I'm not bothered...I have a Turkish friend named Ismail too It's a common name in Turkey, and a nice one too!
That's why I said about Mustafa too, because I have two friends who are named Mustafa - one who is Arabic and the other Turkish

You say "encountered". I don't know if that has a big effect for you, but İsmail is a Turkish name now. You cannot say "origins are different, so it is not Turkish". I remember this discuss many times maden, I will just give a few names:
Osman, Ömer, Ahmet, Mehmet, Muhammet, İsmail, İbrahim, İshak, Yusuf, Yakup, Abdullah, Mustafa, Tarık, Mahmut, Ayşe, Fatma, Elif, Esra, Büşra, Ali, Kadir, Yasin, Adem, Bekir, Hatice, Musa, İsa, Tuba, Nur, Kübra...
They are all Arabic names, and you can't say that they are not Turkish. You can't categorize them like that...
By the way, do you think that Abraham is not Arabic and İbrahim is Arabic? They are names of prophets. They refer on the same person. So, does it matter that it is Arabic or Latin?
