Subject: origin of my surname
Author: idris hakan furtun   (guest, 195.175.241.36)
Date: September 12, 2002 at 4:03:51 PM
my surname is "furtun" which does not have any particular meaning in turkish language my family originated from blacksea region and there are many etnic groups around the blacksea region also there exists variations of my surname such as furtunzade, furtuna etc. As I am lawyer I do remember the latin word "furtum" defining the theft in law but I do hope that my surname has no connection with this word. So if anyone has any knowledge about the meaning of the word "furtum"
or ever met in any dictionary with this word please do inform me with my deepest appreciations
hakan furtun
