When we had surmane law in Turkey people chose surmane according to their characteristics, nicknames, phisycal features so on.
Sinoplu means from Sinop and oglu means son. therefore probably that persons father was from sinop
pak means clean, nice and yuz means face so I assume that person was handsome
I hope that helps a bit
