Is this surname common in Bulgaria?

Yurukov isn't rare although not that common.

[Knight Slayer]

Dinaric-Mediterranean. I don't use this as a type very often given the Dinaric is just an altered Mediterranean but he fits the bill.

[chociprasa]

Ponto-Dinarid.

Dinaro-Pontid, Yurukov is a Macedonian surname.

Dinaro-Pontid, Yurukov is a Macedonian surname.

Yuruk(BG:юруци MK: Јуруци TR: Yürük, Yörük) were the name of the Turkic tribes settled in the Balkans. They were present around Thrace and Macedonia, still present in Northern Macedonia under Yörük identification.

I wonder how Bulgarians took this surname.

[Corded]

Dinaro-pontid + minor east-med

Some surnames I came across in Montenegro surprised me.

Two relative families have surnames Vojvodic and Seferovic.

They are both religious orthodox and nationalist. Seferovic sounds very muslim to me and I don't why they chose this one.

There is also one Serbian criminal guy called Milorad Ulemek. He changed his surname since it had links with Turkish word 'Ulema' which mean muslim theologiansn and scholars

Typical Mediterranean Pontid like the majority of us. Could pass in almost any southern European country. I often got mistaken for 1) Italian; 2) Spanish; 3) Greek. He is too, I suppose.

Yoruk still selfidentify as Yoruk? I doubt that. as for his surname: maybe his family had such descend (unlikely as he is Orthodox) or a grand grandpa was called Yoruk cause he shared some feature like the Yoruk? It was very common for Ottoman Bulgarians to take a nickname as a family name. For example as far as I know my grand grandpa was called Racho (typical bg name), but Turks couldn't say the Bulgarian "ch" so they called him Rasho. He was a mayor of a small village in Ottoman Bulgaria so they called him like that and it stucked (everyone called him Rasho, not Racho) as a family name ironically.

Some of Anatolian Yörüks and North Macedonian Yörüks still. About the rest, i think so, yes.
