The expression cicianne “stepmother” is a new use in Turkish. It appeared approximately in the early 20th century. The first sources give the meaning of the word as “grandmother”. As far as can be seen, the meaning of “stepmother” was added to this later. The word cici in phrase is taken from the baby talk and means “beautiful, cute”. So the expression cicianne means “beautiful mom” and this is a product of efforts to sweeten her up. But it is also claimed that the word cici in this phrase is the same as çiçe “aunt” in the historical sources of Turkish. According to this view, cicianne is not the mother of the person but the woman who is in mother’s position means the aunt who is in the mother’s place. When current data is evaluated, it is quite natural and compulsory that cici in the word cicianne means “beautiful, likable”. Moreover it is strongly possible that cicianne may be translated from belle-mère, literally which means “beautiful mom” in French. While considering relation between French and Turkish, as in many example, it is highly logical that this expression is translated from French too.
