Turkish Name
A Turkish name consists of an ''ad'' or an ''isim'' (given name; plural ''adlar'' and ''isimler'') and a ''soyadı'' or ''soyisim'' (surname). Turkish names exist in a "full name" format. While there is only one ''soyadı'' (surname) in the full name there may be more than one ''ad'' (given name). Married women may carry both their maiden and husband's surnames. The ''soyadı'' is written as the last element of the full name, after all given names (except that official documents related to registration matters often use the format "Soyadı, Adı"). Given names At least one name, often two but very rarely more, are given to a person at birth. Newly given names are allowed up to three words.

Many modern given names (such as Deniz, "sea"; or Ülkü, "ideal") are given to newborns of either sex. Among the common examples of the many unisex names in Turkey includ ...
