Names of Fruit and Vegetables with Person and Nation Names Borrowed from Turkish to Other Languages

In many languages, names are derived from the person who introduced it for the first time, the person who cultivated it for the first time, and the geography where it originally grew. Some names have gained an international identity and have become known in many languages of the world. It is possible to see plant, food, animal and similar names both taken into Turkish and borrowed from Turkish with the names of person and nation. In this context, firstly, examples of such words were given in the study, and then borrowings from Turkish were scanned in terms of subject. As a result of the scanning, 59 fruit and vegetable names in 15 different languages were compiled. The density of the names and the languages in which they are found are shown. The compilation list was subsequently interpreted. It has been determined that in Turkish, fruits and vegetables are given different titles such as bey, pasha, lady, hanım, sultan, rather than the names of individuals and nations. Scans were made using the document analysis method. The aim of the research is to obtain an idea about how word exchanges occur with the languages that Turkish is in contact with, through the names of fruits and vegetables. In addition, it is aimed to show the amount and distribution density of these names borrowed or transferred from Turkish to other languages.
