@article{2018,title={MUSLIM MALE AND FAMILY NAMES IN THE CENTRE OF CORUM: ACCORDING TO 1844-1845 TEMETTUAT REGISTERS},abstractNode={When a newborn child is named, it is not chosen by chance or by name. A meaningful name is determine for them by their parents. While names are often given in Turkish society, the parents are based on the names of their parents. Apart from this, we are also aware of the fact that the child is given names that indicate the social or economic situation in which they are found. For example, we may come across Garip as a name given by a poor family to his child. Or if a boy came to the world at Gadr Night it is very likely that given him the name of Kadir. On the other hand, if a family with a lot of children does not want children anymore, Yeter uses names like Dursun. Or the parents whose firstborn children died have given him the name of Yaşar because they wish they could live again when they were children. We can duplicate examples like this. However, the most common names given to the children of the Turkish society in general are the four Caliphs (Bekir, Omer, Ali, Osman) and the Prophet (Ibrahim, Jesus, David, Solomon, Adam, Moses, Salih) are the names. As a person’s name is the main feature that differentiates people from other people, person names, nicknames and titles provide important information for the social, religious and cultural structure of the region studied. This study is based on the “Corum temettüat registers” which was enumerated in 1844-1845 (1260-1261) and contains 42 districts of Corum central accidents. The research was carried out in 1844-1845 based on the data of 1998 households living in 42 districts of Corum Central Sanjak, by determining the names of persons and dynasties used in Corum, aiming to portray the social life of the city of Corum, a medium-sized Anatolian city with a population of ten thousand, during the Tanzimat Period.},author={İlyas AK},year={2018},journal={Kesit Akademi}}
