Etymology
Unadapted borrowing from Turkish Türkiye, from Ottoman Turkish تركیه (türkiye), from earlier Ottoman Turkish تركیا (türkiya), from Latin Turcia, ultimately from Byzantine Greek Τουρκίᾱ (Tourkíā, “Turkey”). Thus a doublet of Turkey. First adopted in 2020 by the Turkish Exporters Assembly and then by the Turkish government in December 2021 to replace the exonyms of Turkey in other languages. In English, the change has been attributed to confusion with the noun senses of the homonym turkey. In June 2022, the United Nations accepted the country's request to change its official name there.
