Abstract:

Name or family name is a concept that indicates the family bond of people from different families and allows a set of confusions to be avoided. The Name Law, which was one of the steps taken to create a modern nation state in the period of Atatürk and was created as a result of the policy of simplification in the Turkish language and self-Turkish use, was adopted in the Greater National Assembly of Turkey on 21 June 1934. A day after the law was adopted, the new names found by the Turkish Language Research Institute for citizens in the national press began to be published. On the other hand, the new names of citizens have also begun to be placed. The aim of our work is to reveal the reflection of the Law on the Name at the local level. The work on the reflection of the law on the local level is quite limited. About the Chankırı in 1941 a study was published by Ziyaeddin Fahri Fındıkoğlu in the magazine "Çığır". However, the local press was not used in this study. We will also try in this work to reveal the names of some citizens from the data contained in the newspaper "Chankeri's Feeling" from the local press of the time.
