İnan
İnan is a Turkish name. It is used as both given name and surname. In the Turkish context the given name Inan is a product of an onomastic-hygiene movement initiated following the formation of the Turkish Republic to replace Arabic name Emin with which it shares common meaning, ‘to believe.’[1] The other Turkish given name which has the same meaning and was derived as a result of the same process is Inal.[1]
