SOME CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THE ORIGINS OF THE TURK SURNAME
A 12-marker Y-DNA test analyzed by Family Tree DNA for Toni Richard TURK reveals the following - Locus/DYS/Alleles: 1/393/13; 2/390/25; 3/19(394)/17; 4/391/10; 5/385a/10; 6/385b/14; 7/426/12; 8/388/12; 9 /439/10; 10/389-1/13; 11/392/11; 12/389-2/30.
Family Tree Y-DNA findings reveal the following results to countries - exact matches: Poland, Silesia, and Slovakia; one step mutations: Poland; two step mutations essentially eastern European: Ashkenazi - LEVITE. The countries stated to have Ashkenazi connections are: Belarus, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and the Ukraine. A review of the literature indicates a distinction between the Cohen Modal Haplotype and LEVITE priesthood lineage. The latter is "a different, less-well defined patrilineal lineage".
The Y-STR databases reveal a direct match in Turkey. Seventy-two matches were found in Europe. Eighty-nine percent of these were from eastern Europe -- predominately Poland (60%). Nearly all of the remainder were in western Germany.
TURK is a very common surname among Ashkenazi Jews. There are several possible origins ofTURK as a Jewish surname. Kevin Brook, author of THE JEWS OF KHAZARIA, suggests that the name "might simply designate Judean Jews from Turkey who migrated to eastern Europe, or Ottoman Turks, or some other group." He points out that another Ashkenazic surname is TURETSKY, which is Russian for "Turkish" or "Turkic". The origin of this latter variation is equally enigmatic.
In the 15th and 16th centuries and beyond, many Ashkenazim in Poland , including some named TURK, converted to Christianity. Ashkenazi DNA, almost always, closely match those from Syria, Kurdistan, Greece or Turkey. TURK (and variations) first appeared as a surname in Germany in the 16th century.
Khazaria was a Turkic kingdom located in eastern Europe near the Caspian Sea. It flourished as an independent state from about 650 to 1016. Its last power base was the Crimean peninsula. In the ninth century, the Khazarian royalty and nobility, as well as a significant portion of the Khazarian Turkic population embraced the Jewish religion. The downfall of the Khazar kingdom caused many of the Jewish Khazars to flee to the west. The possibility exists that some bearing the TURK surname have origins that trace to these refugee Jews from Khazaria.
The Khazars were a Turkic people, who originated in Central Asia and wrote in a runic script common to Mongolia. By the 5th century they had migrated to the steppes of what is today southern Russia and eastern Ukraine. The royalty of the Khazar kingdom was descended from the Ashina Turkic dynasty. Early Turk tribes were quite diverse, although it is believed that reddish hair was predominate among them prior to the Mongol conquests.
Kevin Brook states that "about 30 percent of Ashkenazic Levites have paternal roots stemming from outside of the Middle East which seem not to be shared by general Ashkenazim; these are also found among Sorbs but could also come from other parts of eastern Europe and western Asia ... David Keys in his book CATASTROPHE suggests they could be Khazar remnants - i.e. descendants of Khazar shamanist priests who adopted the Levite titles artifically upon converting to Judaism."
TURK could come from the Hebrew word, "Ter' Oork", meaning "blessed of the hand of the Lord", or from the Khazar Turkic word, "from the Turkic lands". In the latter case, "Turk" derives from the Mongolian for "strong" or "robust".
Ashkenazi is a medieval Hebrew word for Germany. Ashkenaz is claimed by some to be a son of Solomon, King of the Israelites. Others place him as the grandson of Noah through Gomer. According to the Torah, a relative of Ashkenaz was Togarmah - the progenitor of the Turkic peoples.
