Thread: Could my last name be Turkish?

Quoting sufler

Merhaba,

I have a untypical question this time...

Do you think my last name, that is Kuldanek could be of Turkish origin?

This is very uncommon name and rare in the country where I live (Poland), so it must´ve came from another language. Unfortunately no one in my family holds information that would penetrate the history of our origin in that deep. After all, I realized that my name contains a typical Turkish suffix -dan and it even follows the vowel harmony rules with the first part "kul".. so it could be Kuldan ek. Would such a phrase make sense in Turkish at all?

 

Does it have a meaning in your language? 

-ek is some kind of a suffix in Polish? the ending doesn´t make sense for me but it could be something like -ov / -ev in Russian. If so, that may be considered as a suffix without thinking much the relation. But still that doesn´t look like a Turkish lastname.

And; (I dont know if this is in the context but) lastname laws came in Turkey in 1934 which sounds like it should have been a known fact by your family members if there is a Turkish lastname in your family. Before 1934 there werent lastnames here.

Belh in köpekleri is an idiom and if one of natives may explain it I will be very greatful

 

Belh is said the name of the city where Rumi was born. I don´t think that there is a special idiomatic meaning on it. Belh´in köpekleri means The dogs of Belh. It is just to express that ´even dogs do this, what is the difference between them and you people? you must do more than this´

It seems that instead of saying "Ömer" I said "Emre", sorry father.

 

Very good interpretation despite of the sloppy language

very nice work there

 

dinleniyordum sounds another perfect answer to me. Not necessary to fix/correct it.
