He is more of an archaic type (like face on the left) than a fully modern.

Baltid-CM. Surname Bicak means knife in Turkic. He is one of Yugoslav ethnicities İ guess.

[Odin]

Baltid.

[Lek]

He looks like a mix of many different phenotypes

long slab faced, I presume immensely tall.

Features reveal possibly a Baltic-Borreby tendency.

[MysteriousWays]

Blend of Baltid + Norid

How common is Bıçakçı (Bicakcic) surname among Bosniaks? I've seen one turkish-bosniak with the same surname as well. This surname is not a muslim surname but directly Turkish, besides, this guy would somehow pass Turkish (atypical), so maybe it might indicate a Bosnian Turkish ancestry.

Balkanites can have surnames derived from Turkish and not have any Turk ancestry. Albanians also have a surname derived from Bicak called Bicaku

Turks adopted surnames like 100 years ago, how can it be "typically" Turkish?

Sounds reasonable. Does Bicak have any meaning in Albanian?

Bıçakçı is a turkish word, besides, notable families still had their own names before surname law, and there were tribal names ofc. There could be a "Bıçakçı" family or tribe in Balkans, i'm not sure but it seems there isn't.

What does that word mean?

Cutler.

[Kouros]

He sort of looks like a whiter and more gracile version of an Albanian politician I saw on the net. Forgot his name.

It is adopted from Turkish and means knife although the actual Albanian word for Knife which is always used is Thike

[Gold-Shekel]

Cutler.

Well, think about it, it just means one of his ancestors was a cutler, presumably of Islamic belief, during Ottoman times. Words of Turkish origin are not uncommon in the Bosnian language (but also other languages in the Ottoman Empire) and my guess is that they were even more common before, so it's hard to say if he was of Turkish or any other origin. Sort of the same thing as Jews of German origin having German sounding names (Silberstein, etc).

Yes, probably. I didn't claim he has Turkish ancestry, i found it just odd that he had a Turkish surname (which is not related to Islam and not a muslim surname)

I know, I wasn't claiming he isn't of Turkish origin either :p

But now we can safely guess he has a cutler in his family tree
