Names of Turkey

The name of Turkey, Türkiye in the Turkish language, can be divided into two components: Türk, which means "strong" or "mighty" in Old Turkic[10] and usually signifying the inhabitants of Turkey or a member of the Turkish or Turkic peoples,[10] a later form of "Tu–kin", a name given by the Chinese to the people living south of the Altay Mountains of Central Asia as early as 177 BCE;[11] and the abstract suffix –iye meaning "owner", "land of" or "related to" (derived from the Arabic suffix –iyya, but also associated with the Medieval Latin suffix –ia in Turchia).

The first recorded use of the term "Türk" or "Türük" as an autonym is contained in the Orkhon inscriptions of the Göktürks (Celestial Turks) of Central Asia (c. 8th century CE). The English word "Turkey" is derived from the Medieval Latin Turchia (c. 1369)
