Information about the Turkish names

The region of Anatolia was originally settled by indigenous peoples related to their Caucasian and Balkan neighbors, but the area passed through the hands of the Assyrians, Hittites, Greeks, Romans, Armenians, and Byzantines at different times in history. The arrival of the Seljuk Turks of Central Asia paved the way for the Ottoman Empire, which left Turkish communities in many countries after its dissolution. The Turkish names used in these areas, and in the large Turkish population in Germany, include Muslim names derived from the Arabic and native Turkic names similar to those used throughout Central Asia.
