Guide
Understanding Bartın’s shared ranks and changing leaders
The popular baby names in Bartın include several shared positions, making the counts especially useful when reading the rankings. The baby-name tables and the population tables answer different questions, so each needs its own category and year.
-
A shared boys’ lead
According to TÜİK’s 2025 Bartın province data, Göktuğ and Atlas share the leading position in the boys’ baby-name table with 15 each.
-
Alya heads the girls’ list
TÜİK’s 2025 Bartın province figures place Alya first with 15. Defne, Duru and Umay share the next rank with 12 each.
-
A separate population picture
According to TÜİK’s 2025 Bartın province population data, Fatma leads female names with 4,757 and Mehmet leads male names with 3,058.
Why shared positions matter in Bartın
According to TÜİK’s 2025 Bartın province baby-name data, Göktuğ and Atlas both have 15, followed by Alparslan with 14. A display that places one tied name above another does not give it a statistical advantage. The girls’ table likewise gives Defne, Duru and Umay equal counts of 12. You can explore Göktuğ and Atlas as individual names while preserving their shared position in any comparison. Consult the methodology when you need to distinguish the presentation order from the recorded rank.
Following the succession of annual leaders
TÜİK’s Bartın province records show different girls’ baby-name leaders over time: Zeynep in 2018 and 2020, Asel in 2019 and from 2022 through 2023, Eylül in 2021, Defne in 2024, and Alya in 2025. Among boys, Alparslan leads from 2021 through 2023, followed by Göktuğ in 2024; the 2025 table records Göktuğ alongside Atlas at the top. Explore Asel and Alya for meanings, or use the baby-name overview to continue browsing with the year clearly identified.
Understanding the language behind listed names
Several entries offer useful starting points for readers unfamiliar with Turkish names. Defne is Greek in origin and means “bay laurel, an aromatic evergreen tree.” Umay is Old Turkic in origin and refers to a protective female figure in ancient Turkic belief. These descriptions explain the names and their associations; they do not identify a bearer’s beliefs or background. Browse names by origin if language history interests you, while keeping that exploration separate from the province’s official frequency tables.
Reading Bartın’s tables accurately
- Keep Göktuğ and Atlas together when describing the latest boys’ leaders.
- Preserve shared ranks when copying the girls’ table.
- Check the full latest table alongside the annual-leader summary.
- Use the Turkish spelling Bartın, including its dotless ı, in saved notes.
