The names Mehmet, Ahmet and H眉seyin are indeed very common in Turkey...Especially Mehmet, that is so popular that the Army is often called Mehmet(莽ik)...

Off course don't being retard because i know that you are notat all.They are Moslem and Middle Easterns all those countries from Turkey to Saudi Arabia those names they have. Report Abuse

Reply:To an extent, but not as common as other Muslim countries. There are also spelled different, adapted to Turkish from their arabic spellings. For instance, Hussein is typically spelled H眉seyin.





I've never heard of any Turk named Ahmed, and Mohammed is fairly rare as a first name, though common as a middle name for Sunnis. Ali is far more common since a large minority of Muslims in Turkey are Shiite or Alevi.





I'm curious why you ask...
Reply:let's see , with different spells yeah ; u can hear those names at turkey .. like Huseyin, not Hussein nor Husein .. also Muhammed ( not Mohammed or Muhammad ) are "sometimes" using at the middle .. but at this day's that kind of "old" names aren't popular like past.
Reply:I think these names are more common for Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Egypt...
