    All I have is this, I have random 8% Greek do Balkan on 23andme, this Habas line lived in Southwestern Romania, supposedly Rusyns but very dark complex, were called Turks or Gypsies (Def not Gypsies for sure though) One of my family members from that line shows about 65% Balkan, 15% west Asian. I can’t find the surname anywhere else. May as well be a mystery forever.

    The word sounds turkish too but I think the results of that member mean nothing If some generations have passed unless you want to emphasize the west asian?

    According to an app it's found here in Greece
    county(chania,samos,cyclades,chios)area(daratsos,e vdilos,naxos) +commonality


    Other possibilities

    Do you have the Y of the line?

    In Turkish Habas is Peeled fava beans
    ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi.
