Interviews with women and men who agreed to speak to me about their
memories of the 1930s were crucial windows into understanding the
many facets of the way the Surname Law was received. For the memory
slices they shared with me in their older years, I thank my interviewees
with all my heart. I do not claim that this book is a comprehensive cover-
age of all demographic groups’ experiences of the Surname Law; rather,
this study reveals patterns of experience, paths of internalization, and cor-
ridors of remembering of Turkish citizens residing in Western Turkey.
Though I contemplated collecting additional data encompass a broader
demographic base, I decided to leave that step to a later project, since it
would also be informed by a dramatically different present and would be
conducted with a different generation.
In its earlier incarnation, this book was a dissertation submitted to the
University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate Program in Folklore and Folklife.
In the following pages, I have expanded the manuscript with additional
archival documentation from the Prime Ministry Archives, unpublished
documents from the population registry, updated to reflect more recent
work, and woven through conceptual strands from law and narrative and
sociolinguistics.
I want to thank my dissertation supervisor Dan Ben-Amos, and the
members of my committee, Regina Bendix, Lee Cassanelli, and finally my
first advisor and mentor, Margaret Mills. I chose the program in Folklore
at Penn at the encouragement of my valuable friend and mentor, Arzu
Öztürkmen.

Turkey, our history, too has parts unknown. My father understood the
importance of the research and accompanied me to coffee shops in Yeni
Foça to introduce me to people his age. He annotated my notes so that I
could understand the language of the parliament with more ease. They
too were children of the Republic, and it is to their loving memory, and to
all the stories that I remember, and those I did not hear, that I dedicate
this book.
Parts of this manuscript, particularly excerpts from Chaps. 1, 5 and 6,

Studies (Türköz 2007) and in a volume on the Social History of Modern
Turkey (Brockett 2011).

CHAPTER 1
Introduction: Surnames
and the Construction of Turkish Citizens
Since the late 1980s, there has been more of an interest in the “less
tangible effects of processes of social transformation … the emergence of
new identities and forms of subjectivity, and…the specificities of the ‘mod-
ern’ in the Turkish context” (Kandiyoti 1997, 113).
The social historical works are united in their insistence on looking beyond
the “phoenix rising” story of modern Turkey with the periodization, attribu-
tions of agency, and narrative direction that entails. Historians and historical
studies of modern Turkey have moved away from previous narratives13 that
saw the emergence of modern Turkey as a stark rupture and also from “the
image of Turkey arising from the ashes like a phoenix” (Zürcher 1992, 237).
They have focused increasingly on the continuity between the Tanzimat
reforms, the Young Turk Era, and the early years of modern Turkey (Meeker
2002; Deringil 1993; Zürcher 1992; Georgeon 2000).
In discussions of the state’s control over the dissemination of Kemalism,
scholars have described the population as indifferent, passive, unlike popu-
lations that participated in upholding authoritarian regimes, elsewhere in
that period. In arguing that the regime of the 1930s could not be consid-
ered technically fascist, because it did not have a mass social base, Keyder
maintained that it was a “regime established over a society which had not
yet become a ‘people’, let alone citizens” (Keyder, 109). This description
of passivity may have also been used in comparative ways, as Keyder, for
instance, compares the participation of the masses in Turkey to Italy. Yet
Turkish citizens of different geographic origins, of different classes were
cognizant of ways they could or could not act upon their world, as more
recent studies have shown.
Gavin Brockett’s work, based on provincial newspapers, focuses on
“popular identification with the ‘nation’—as distinct from the articulation
of nationalism as an ideology” in the first decades of the republic. Provincial
newspapers were important aspects of the process of nation-building in
that “they allowed people to actually participate in the ‘theater of the
nation’” (Brockett 2011, 125).
A notable example of a study that examines the various ways that citizens
mediated and acted in response to the major reforms is Hale Yılmaz’s
Becoming Turkish (2013), which draws on exhaustive archival sources, print
6 1 INTRODUCTION: SURNAMES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TURKISH...
media, and oral histories to document the dress laws, language and alpha-
bet change, and national holidays.
Yılmaz’s monograph is based on detailed archival data, press clippings,
as well as oral historical interviews and memoirs and illustrates the variety
of ways that citizens responded to the reforms. We see, for example, that
the government made use of the Diyanet Iş̇ leri Riyaseti’s (Directorate of
Religious Affairs) reach into communities through mosque sermons to
instruct or guide citizens for the male dress reform (Yılmaz 2013, 39). We
learn from Yılmaz’s study that local producers and consumers of peçe, or
head coverings, petitioned the government in writing to complain about
the imposition of the dress reforms, which sometimes involved gendarmes
pulling off women’s covering (ibid., 135).
Oral history methodology has been a major tool in interpreting the
historical memory among various groups, and as Neyzi has pointed out,
many of these studies have been done by anthropologists and sociolo-
gists working in a historical framework (Neyzi 2010). One of the
absences from the study of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire was com-
parative work that placed the reform process in the context of a broader
geography and recent studies have focused on the authoritarian national-
isms under Atatürk and Reza Shah, while others have explored the way
in which Atatürk’s personage and reforms were perceived in France and
in Nazi Germany (Atabaki and Zürcher 2003; Dost-Niyego 2014; Ihrig
2014).
My book seeks to explore the way that the reforms were received,
appropriated, negotiated, and brokered within families and communities.
In their inspiring work on the production of legal identities, James Scott
et al. tell us that “there is no State-making without state naming” (2002,
4) and the fixing of surnames by modern states is one of the ways that
states make populations legible (Scott 1998). Drawing from this notion,
what unfolds in the following pages is about the state’s blueprint for order
and unity and the various worlds that conform, approximate, and trans-
form that order.
Narratives about the process of surname legislation in Turkey, many
relating the interactions between officials and citizens, provide a produc-
tive site to explore the boundaries between the state and the different
groups that it sought to transform, assimilate, or marginalize. In sur-
name narratives, which are invariably stories about bureaucracy, inter-
viewees positioned themselves—often simultaneously—in perceived social
THE SURNAME LAW IN SCHOLARSHIP 7
The Turks, like other Muslim peoples, were not in the habit of using family
names. A man would be known by his personal names, given at birth, sup-
plemented by a second name given in childhood, or by his father’s name.
Surnames existed, but were rare, and not in common usage. The more com-
plex and extensive system of a modern society made a system of family
names desirable; the adoption of the new civil code made it immediately
necessary. (Lewis 1961, 289)
Previously the Arab system of nomenclature had been in general use and it
was given official force in 1881, from which year identity documents had to
show one’s father’s name: Ahmed son of Mehmed. To distinguish among all
the Ahmeds whose fathers were called Mehmed, a word might be added
denoting the birthplace or a physical peculiarity: Ahmed of Sivas, son of
Bald Mehmed. Men of ancient lineage might have a family-name, but most
people did not. (Lewis 1974, 123)
rowing from Arabic, the word ad is evolved from the Old Turkish, at, its
first usage from eighth-century Orkhon Inscriptions. Turkish Ottoman
names drew from the Arab and Islamic name structures, with “the full
name of a person … usually made up of … (1) kunya; (2) ism; (3) nasab;
(4) nisba, along with nicknames, or lakab, or pejorative sobriquets called
nabaz” (EI2, s.v. “ism”). Öz ad refers to a person’s given name, and göbek
adı (umbilical name), sometimes informally used to indicate a middle
name, is traditionally a name given on the cutting of the umbilical cord.
Families were known by a variety of terms. Aile is a borrowing from
Arabic, while sülale refers to lineage. In cities, towns and villages, the
lakab, an Arabic borrowing which means nickname (and later, honorific
title) is used to describe names for families. The lakab or lagab is an Arab
word, whose Latin equivalent is considered to be the cognomina and can
be used for three purposes. The lakab can be “honorific … for purposes of
identification … and also deprecating” (Schimmel 1989, 12). It is defined
as the name that an individual receives after his or her given name and can
occur through three channels: through medih (bestowal), description and
identification, and ridicule. “Most significantly for the development of
Islamic culture, the lakab developed from being a nickname of praise and
admiration … into becoming an honorific title, conferring status and pres-
tige on its owner, since it frequently implied a special close relationship to
the sovereign or the divinity or else a reward for personal bravery or ser-
vices to the state” (EI2 s.v. “lakab”). Bestowed names can be divided into
religious and worldly, and the honorific style nicknames are compared to
the Roman cognomen such as Africanus and Asiaticus. Under Islam, the
term lakab came to refer to honorific titles, and with increasing complexity
and development in Islamic society, they became more elaborate and
“grandiloquent” (EI 1986 (V) Lakab). Early Ottoman sultans, foreign
rulers, and dignitaries were named with an elaborate system of titles.14
Westernizing reforms of the Tanzimat, which involved the modernization
of the bureaucracy, also included the rationalization and restriction of the
unchecked growth of titulature. Traditional titles were regulated and
bureaucratized in the late nineteenth century (EI lakab (V) 1986). By
1934, many of these titles would be abolished.
The lakab in all three of its meanings is in circulation today. Most
Turkish families will speak of a lakap/lakab,15 or nickname by which they
are known in their town or village, referring to nicknames of bestowal,
identification or sometimes, ridicule. Although nicknames that ridicule, or
make light of an individual, are forbidden by the Koran in the XLX,
OTTOMAN AND TURKISH CULTURES OF NAMES AND TITLES 11
Ottoman Naming
It is clear that several onomastic regimes coexisted during the Ottoman
centuries, and the written records kept by the Ottoman state provide par-
tial evidence of patterns particularly among male subjects. The cadastral
records, or tahrirs from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, show that
Turkic names in the first period of the Ottoman era gradually gave way to
more Arabo-Persian elements (Ortaylı 1984). The most comprehensive
recent research on the Ottoman onomastic regime was published by
Olivier Bouquet, whose work on the use of titles in late Ottoman records
has enriched understanding of both the rules and the flexibilities offered
by the structures of naming among male members of the civil service.
Bouquet examines the sicill-i ahval, the administrative registers created
under the Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II (1876–1909) that contain bio-
graphical notes about employees in the nineteenth-century civil service
(Bouquet 2010, 2). Muslim male names were sometimes changed in
schools, after a geographical displacement, or through various professional
and cultural environments. Bouquet’s work tells us that the nom d’état
written in the biographical notes was rarely the name used in the quotid-
ian. This is to some degree consistent with modern usage, in which regis-
tered, official names often serve a different purpose than the ones used in
smaller, face-to-face communities.
Another difference noted by Bouquet is that while the second names
functioned to bring distinction or status in the sixteenth centuries, by the
nineteenth century, the “second ism, generally disconnected from the
12 1 INTRODUCTION: SURNAMES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TURKISH...
taken in the Napoleonic empire, the German states, Russia, and Poland in
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (Nautré, 14).
As a “system of knowledge spun in the webs of power” (Scott et al.
2002, 6), surnames and their imposition have been intrusive
“knowledge-power systems” that can serve to marginalize, assimilate, seg-
regate and imperil communities. With its segregationist series of name
decrees of the late 1930s, the Nazi government in Germany tried to
restrict the name of Jews to Old Testament given names claiming that “it
was necessary for the stability of the country to insure that the name one
bore gave evidence of his true racial (i.e., ethnic), national, sexual, and
family identity” (Rennick 1970, 69). The laws first began in 1934, by
limiting the ability of Jewish citizens to change their name, and in 1938,
the Nazi government annulled any name changes that had been made
before Jan 30, 1933 (Nautré, 26). This was one step along with others,17
the Star of David on the clothing, the red “J” on German passports,
“Jude” marked on ration books, to facilitate further acts (ibid., 73).
Slavization and Christianization of Turkish names by the Bulgarian gov-
ernment under Todor Zhivkov, and the killing of numerous protesters from
the mid-1980s forced over 340,000 Muslim Turks to flee into Turkey after
a government decision to expel them (Karpat 1995, 725). The Canadian
government process of identifying the population in the Arctic in the 1940s,
written about extensively by Valerie Alia who proposes a “political onomas-
tics” (2008), involved assigning disk numbers to the Inuit, whose naming
system was not easy to comprehend for the state representatives. In
1970–1972, Project Surname was launched to replace the disk numbers
with surnames. By that time, some Inuit were attached to their numbers,
and even preferred them to the surnames since the numbers did not inter-
fere with their traditional naming system.18 Maura Hametz explores
Italianization of surnames imposed on ethnic Slovenes and Croats on Italy’s
Adriatic borderlands from 1927 to 1943 as part of the fascist regime’s con-
struction of Italian national community (Hametz 2010, 2012).
While in most European countries there has been a progression from
patronymic names to fixed family names, Iceland is a unique example of a
nation where the traditional patronymic system of surnames was main-
tained after intense national debate.19 Surnames were seen as a foreign
innovation that was incompatible with native Icelandic tradition. Today,
there is a surname-bearing minority, but the patronymic system continues
(Willson 2002).
16 1 INTRODUCTION: SURNAMES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TURKISH...
Much of the earlier scholarly work in onomastics, the study of names and
naming practices, was etymological (Nicolaisen 1976, 149–150). Some of
the motivation behind the etymological trend was probably also genea-
logical, since many of the volumes on names and surnames are written for
diasporic audiences interested in ancestry (Kaganoff 1977; Levy 1960).
Though my work is partly based on the field of onomastics, I do not claim
to give comprehensive coverage to the field, but rather join those ethnog-
raphers and social scientists who find that names and naming provide a
unique window into sociocultural worlds.
The capacity of names to embody social and political transformations is
unique and they continue to be fertile ground for examining social change.
Studies which utilize names as method are spread across a range of disci-
plines, fields, and historical periods (Spencer 1961; Bulliet 1978; Uspenskii
1979; Selishchev 1979; Gonon 1993; Plutzchow 1995; Cooper 1997;
Goldberg 1997; Başgöz 1998a, b; Brunet et al. 2001). Furthermore, the
many uses to which names are put, the audiences they have, and their
elusive interactive purposes are often historically specific, as studies have
found.
Harvey Goldberg underlines the importance of social context, and
demonstrates how semantics alone cannot determine the reason why
someone took, or was given a particular name, and attribution of ethnic
affiliation is not straightforward. During his study in North Africa, he
encountered Moroccan Jews bearing Berber names, which many of his
colleagues had attributed to Berbers having converted to Judaism in the
pre-Islamic period. Goldberg found, however, that many of the Jews of
North Africa lived in rural settings or mountainous areas distant from
governmental control and lived among tribes. Though they were not
members of the tribe, they were considered to be guests, and lived under
tribal protection. “Jewish traders or craftsmen who crossed tribal borders
were identified by the name of the tribal leader under whose protection
they operated” (Goldberg 1997, 58). When they moved, they kept these
names, and thus came to carry Berber names.
Similarly, Ottoman historian Ilber Ortaylı comments on the elusive
quality of names in Ottoman records from the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. Not only is it impossible to derive historical periodization from
personal names, it can also be difficult to determine affiliation to ethnicity
INTERPRETING NAMES: NAMES AS HISTORICAL AND ETHNOGRAPHIC... 17
or tribe. For example, Christians were found to take Arabic names as often
as they took Turkish names, and along with these names, they would also
use their baptismal names from the church, with some Christians even
having names such as Imam or Eminuddin (Ortaylı 1984). The social
context where the name had value is missing.
Acts of naming, though not always straightforward, tend to be practices
of overt or more subtle, taxonomy. Claude Levi-Strauss reflected on how
the act of naming is mutually defining. In his view, a naming act is as much
about the naming subject as it is about the named.
An example that embodies this view can be found in a study about slave
naming patterns in Jamaica, where Trevor Burnard analyzed lists of slave
names in order to see to what degree African traditions had been kept as
Africans moved to Jamaica (Burnard 2001, 325). Contrary to previous
scholarship that argued that slaves named themselves, he found that slave
names did not reflect the slaves’ tastes or customs because they were all
given by whites who considered the slaves as people completely different
from themselves. Thus, the slave names “are more a guide to what whites
thought of blacks than an entrée into slave consciousness” (ibid., 326).
For example, Burnard found that white Jamaicans allowed themselves free
imaginative rein in a way that they would not have with their own names.
When slaves became free, instead of taking names that indicated their
African roots, they took names that actually mimicked those of their
English masters. Naming acts embody the stratified systems and categories
in which historically situated subjects operate.
