Westerners use Semitic-Hebrew names like David, John, Sarah, Aaron, Joseph.
When Turks took up Islam they took up arabic or persian names they still used Turkic names like Alperen, Sebuktigin, Baybars, Alparslan, Cagri, Tugurl, Alptekin, Orhan, Ataman various others.
Actually I lived in Australia not one person called me an arab. This whole discourse of Non Arab Muslims being seen as arab was part of the whole orientalism discourse.
Westerners even painted Turks as dark skin africans.
It all stems from ignorance or bias because the Eastern Steppes and the Middle East were seen as the forces of darkness.
Europeans melted Christianity within their culture. Today the religion they worship has nothing to do with original Christianity.
What you dont get is that they didnt become successful due to Christianity, they became successful DESPITE Christianity.
So when some regressive people resist to ideas taken from Europe because they are Christian, it is stupid because those ideas had nothing to do with Christianity. Secularism isnt related to Christianity, women not wearing headscarfs isnt related to Christianity in fact it is the opposite, hat and ties arent Christian clothes, nationalism isnt related to Christianity.
Europeans/Americans use some judeo-christian names true but it is like less than %10, their own ethnic names are way more. Celtic names, Slavic names, Germanic/Scandinavian names, Latin names...Turkey only used Arabic names in Ottoman times. There were no Sebuktegins, there were no Baybars, there were no Alperens, there were no Alparslans, Chagris, Tughruls, Alptekins.
I have come across Dogan, Turgut, Ataman, Korkut, Orhan, Kılıç, Uluç, Bayram in Ottoman history.
Now I didnt feel lazy and I looked through all the 292 grandviziers in the entire Ottoman history to see if there was even one grandvizier with a Turkish name.
Among those 292 grandviziers I only found one: Bayram Pasha. The rest of them had non-Turkic names.
An Ottoman male name is: Hasan, Ali, Mehmed, Galib, Mustafa, Hayreddin, Naim, Halil, Hamid, Hamdi, Sinan, Yunus, Yusuf, Musa, İsa, Vefik, İshak, İbrahim, Lütfi, Süleyman, Rüstem, Refik, Davut, İsmail, Murad, Hilmi, Hakkı, Said, Tevfik, Kamil, Fuat, Hüseyin, Osman, Selim, İzzet, Şevket...and Abdül names.
It is like finding an oasis in a desert to find a Turkish name in Ottoman history.
One of the sons of Shehzade Cem was Oghuz Khagan. It was a politically given name because Tamerlane's grandson Shahrukh was blaming Murad II and Ottomans for being regenerates. So at that period the state had a small Turkish nationalism boost. It disappeared shortly after needless to say.
Here are the 50 most used male names in Turkey, from 2016: ''Mehmet, Mustafa, Ahmet, Ali, Hüseyin, Hasan, İbrahim, İsmail, Osman, Yusuf, Murat, Ömer, Ramazan, Halil, Süleyman, Abdullah, Mahmut, Recep, Salih, Fatih, Kadir, Emre, Mehmet Ali, Hakan, Adem, Kemal, Yaşar, Bekir, Musa, Metin, Bayram, Serkan, Orhan, Burak, Furkan, Gökhan, Yasin, Uğur, Yakup, Muhammet, Muhammed, Şükrü, Cemal, Enes, Yunus, Arif, Onur, Yılmaz, Şaban, Halil İbrahim.''
I counted 8 Turkic names, well there is improvement compared to Ottoman times.
Here are the 50 most used female names in Turkey, from 2016: '' Fatma, Ayşe, Emine, Hatice, Zeynep, Elif, Meryem, Şerife, Zehra, Sultan, Hanife, Merve, Havva, Zeliha, Esra, Fadime, Özlem, Hacer, Yasemin, Melek, Rabia, Hülya, Cemile, Sevim, Gülsüm, Leyla, Dilek, Büşra, Aysel, Songül, Kübra, Halime, Esma, Aynur, Hayriye, Kariye, Tuğba, Sevgi, Rukiye, Hava, Sibel, Derya, Asiye, Filiz, Keziban, Ebru, Ayşegül, Döndü, Selma, Ayten.''
9 and a half(Aynur) are Turkic. Actually Filiz is disputed so 8 and a half.
Overwhelming majority are Arabic. Any person taking a look at this list would feel safe to say this is an Arabic nation.
