My surname is one of the most common surmame in Turkey also it’s pure Turkic but this site does not even show Turkey on map, also says it’s the most prevalent in Saudi Arabia. BULLSHIT.

I'm guessing your surname has a diacritic mark (or accent) in it. Surnames are listed by unique character, so Núńez and Nunez are considered separately. So Ozturk has a global incidence of about 8,000 with none in Turkey and Öztürk has a global incidence of about 570,000 with only about 10,000 using the diacritic living outside Turkey.

My father's family came from Holland. Particularly the Westland Area. A family of poor landless landfolk, that worked for the rich farmers and, later, laborers until my grandfather made it big and became a civil servant It seems me that their ancestors stuck around one particular area as my great-grandfather moved from the Westland to The Hague (that other dark spot along the coast), while his siblings and mother ended up in Rotterdam (the dark spot just south of it) and the same name is heavily concentrated around that particular area. The same family name was used by a (rather well known) beguine in the same area, Delft (that dark splotch right in the middle of the area) between 1320 and 1358). She, originally, seems to have come from neighboring Voorburg. Historians are still fighting over whether she has anything to do with a famous medieval hymn and whether she took the name from it --- or whether she it took it from the neighboring city gate.
A lot of them also seemed to have been shipped off East to the peat-lands of the "Veenkoloniën" as would have been common with the 19th century poor. In fact: I once met one Canadian woman with my last name who traced her name back to the Veenkoloniën and from there on back to Holland.
Wake up and smell the coffee.

My grandfather legally changed the name, eliminating the letters "Z" and "Y" I believe. People here in America still don't pronounce it correctly, it does not sound how it looks.
