Notable Historical Usage

The language reform launched in 1932 set out to replace the Arabic and Persian vocabulary of Ottoman Turkish with Turkic words, many of them revived from older sources or coined outright. Given names drawn from that recovered vocabulary spread through the republican decades alongside the older Muslim stock, and remain in common use.
