Talk:Tevet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] reference
Can you please provide a reference that Tarkan's surname, Tevetoglu is SURELY derived from this Hebrew name? Because I have read a lot of sources on Tarkan and none of them EVER mentions it. It might also be only a coincidence, it is highly unlikely that the Muslim Tevetoglu family, originating from Rize would have a Hebrew name, especially that surnames became obligatory only in 1938, and before that everyone was only identified by their first names and the father's first name (Yusuf, Mustafa's son). To say that his name comes from Hebrew just because it has the same form of writing, is ridiculous. I can give you the example of the word "HAT", which is a form of headgear in English but means "six" in hungarian. Now would we say they are in relation? No way. :) --Teemeah Gül Bahçesi 17:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
