Happ Hazzard Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 What do they call turkeys in Turkey? Is it just a coincedence that the country has the same name as a fowl in English or is there some reason for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarmOKnee Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The English name for Turkey is derived from the Medieval Latin Turchia (c.1369). The word Türk in old Turkish means strong. Thus the land of the strong people: Turchia. This word is directly taken from Italian and morphed into Türkiye in Turkish (Tur-kee-yeah), but the Europeans changed it to Turkey because it was easier to pronounce. Around 1530 a new bird was brought to England by merchants from the eastern Mediterranean called “Turkey merchants” because the whole area at that time was part of the Turkish empire. The new bird was therefore called a “Turkey bird”, or “Turkey ****”. The interesting thing about the turkey’s origins is that the English were the only people to believe they came from Turkey; nearly everyone else, including the Turks, thought they originated in India! To add to the confusion over its origins by everyone, when the turkey did arrive in India, it was brought there via the Spanish possessions in the East Indies, and one name for it was the “Peru bird". So now you know or don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
