toward the end you will hear them saying several times the word þaban, does it mean stupid?

Saban is the name of the famous character Sunal acted in many of his movies. Sunal was a very serious person in his daily life but to the rest of Turkish people, he was Þaban the lovable but silly peasant. Saban is the name of the eighth month on Arabic calender. It was used as a person´s name and was more abundant in the past. Along with many other oriental cultural elements, the name Ãžaban has  become very rare. Part of this can be attributed to Sunal who gave the word a new meaning: a naive, silly peasant who also manages to be extremely sly.
