“Turkish homeland; land of the Turks”

What does Türkili mean?
Turkish homeland; land of the Turks
In Turkish: Türk yurdu; Türk ülkesi
Türkili can be interpreted through the sense of il meaning land or country, rather than its modern administrative meaning of province. This gives the wording a geographical and historical character. Similar formations occur in place names, while the name itself establishes nothing about a bearer's ethnicity or birthplace.
Origin of the name Türkili
Probably derives from Türk ili, combining Türk with il in its sense of 'land' or 'country.' Use of the joined spelling as a personal name needs separate confirmation.
