Quoting turkiyemylove: and my favourite names are:
Mehmet
Kemal
Osman
Murat
and I would like to know what are the meanings of my friends names, could you help me with translation?
1) SAİT : Mübarek, kutlu - Sevap kazanmış
2) DURAN : Varlığını sürdüren-Dağ yolu-Dingin,sakin
Selamlar  |
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?
