What does Satılmış mean?
Sold; dedicated through a votive rite
In Turkish: satılmış; adak yoluyla bağlanmış
Satılmış is associated with traditional symbolic sales or dedications intended to express a wish for a child’s survival. The word’s negative figurative use in everyday Turkish should be distinguished from this naming history. Like Dursun and Yaşar, it can preserve a wish for continued life within the name.
