List of renamed cities, towns and regions in Turkey


The names of many populated places and geographical features in Turkey have undergone changes over the centuries, and more particularly since the establishment of the present-day nation in the early 20th century, when there were extensive campaigns to change to recognizably Turkish names. Names changed were usually of Armenian, Greek, Georgian, Bulgarian, Kurdish, Zazaki, Syriac or Arabic origin.
