: Dear R. Nas,
: It is very difficult to predict the origin
: of a person just by knowing the surname.
: The surname Nas you can find almost in every
: town. I made a quick investigation for the
: concentration of Nas families, and
: established 4 districts where they are
: especially concentrated: 1) Siirt, Shirnak,
: Mardin, Batman area (south-east Turkey,
: close to Syrian and Iraqi border)
: 2) Gumushhane, Trabzon area (north-east
: Turkey, Black Sea coast)
: 3) Adana, Mersin area (south Turkey,
: Mediterranean coast)
: 4) Istanbul (this doesn't mean much, because
: Istanbul is a very cosmopolit city)
: Most probably, the origin of your name is
: one of the fist 3 regions.
: Nas is an Arabic word and means,
: "Human, People, Humankind". This
: word has also been used in Turkish language
: in the last century with the same meaning.
: The synonym of it in contemporary Turkish is
: "insan".
: If you have other questions in this matter
: just write me.
: wishing you good luck in your investigations

: Dear Sungu,
: According to my investigations the names
: mentioned in your message are concentrated
: mainly in following cities: SUNGU : Adana
: (Seyhan), Ýçel (Mersin), Ýzmir
: KANSU : Adana (Saimbeyli), Antalya
: (Manavgat), Balýkesir, Bursa, Ýçel
: (Mersin), Ýzmir, Kayseri, Kocaeli, Muðla
: (Fethiye, Bodrum), Urfa, Zonguldak
: ÖNEN : Adana (Seyhan, Yüregir), Antalya,
: Aydýn, Balýkesir, Bursa, Çanakkale,
: Denizli, Diyarbakýr, Eskiþehir, Ýçel
: (Mersin), Manisa, Mardin, Ýzmir, Kocaeli,
: Tekirdag
: BAÞUSTAOGLU : Giresun
: KAPTANLAR : Afyon, Antalya, Bursa, Istanbul
: KAPTAN : (There are many KAPTAN's in many
: towns, including Adana, Antalya, Balýkesir,
: Ýçel (Silifke, Mersin), Muðla (Fethiye,
: Bodrum, Yatagan)
: PAÞAZADELER : (I couldn't trace any)
: PAÞAZADE There are only some PAÞAZADE's
: in Istanbul)
:
: I excluded Ankara and Istanbul, because they
: are too cosmopolit. For me it is remarkable
: that Baþustaoglu's are living almost only
: in Giresun.
:
: I think that Adana and Ýçel are the most
: common cities for these names; so it is a
: possiblity that your relatives are from
: south parts of Turkey (Mediterranean
: coasts).
: I hope this information is of any help for
: you.
: Regards

: hi thankyou alot for your previous reply it was most helpful. i am writing again in regards of my surname, i am from the northeast side (Kelkit) which is linked to gumushane, i am told that some generations back we came from Erzincan and that could explain how my grandad used to have uncles that would come visit him from erzurum, if that could help out in any way to come to a more specific conclucion i would be most grateful, and on behalf of a friend could you enlighten me on the surname 'Bagda$'(that is "sh" not "s") the persons in question are from kayseri and would like to know if you could help them out. yours faithfully R.Nas
