Guide
Reading Siirt’s close results and joint baby-name leaders
Popular baby names in Siirt include a close result among girls and a shared lead among boys in the latest table. Keeping equal counts visible makes the figures clearer than presenting every name as if it held a unique position.
-
A close girls’ result
According to TÜİK’s 2025 figures for Siirt province, Asel led the girls’ baby-name list with 54, followed by Zeynep with 53.
-
A joint boys’ lead
Ömer Asaf and Miraç each recorded 40 in TÜİK’s 2025 Siirt baby-name table. Both share the leading rank.
-
Population-wide leaders
TÜİK’s 2025 Siirt population lists were led by Zeynep among female names, with 3,714, and Yusuf among male names, with 3,485.
Giving equal counts equal weight
According to TÜİK’s 2025 figures for Siirt province, Ömer followed the joint boys’ leaders with 38, then Miran with 34. The girls’ table also contains shared ranks: Elif, Asya and Arya each recorded 27, while Alya and Eflin each recorded 25. Display order does not make a tied name more frequent than its neighbour. Explore Miraç and Asel individually, and consult the methodology for context when reading the ranks and counts together.
Reading the annual summary alongside the detailed table
TÜİK’s Siirt province series shows Zeynep leading the girls’ annual list from 2018 through 2022, followed by Asel from 2023 through 2025. The boys’ summary names Miraç in several earlier years and Yusuf in 2021 and 2024. For 2025, it names Ömer Asaf, while the detailed table also shows Miraç with the same leading count. Keep that joint lead visible when summarising the year. Read Zeynep and Yusuf, or explore double names for names used together.
Distinguishing overall frequency from recent choices
For the most common names in Siirt, Turkey, use the population-wide table. According to TÜİK’s 2025 Siirt province figures, Fatma and Elif followed Zeynep among female names, while Ahmet and Mehmet followed Yusuf among male names. Yıldız led the separate surname list with 4,399, followed by Yılmaz and Demir. Zeynep therefore appears prominently in both the population and baby-name tables, but those tables measure different groups. Explore Elif for its meaning and name statistics for help keeping the comparisons distinct.
Making accurate notes from Siirt’s lists
- Record Ömer Asaf and Miraç as joint leaders in the latest boys’ table.
- Keep Ömer Asaf separate from Ömer, and Ali Asaf as its own complete entry.
- Preserve shared ranks when noting Elif, Asya and Arya.
- Attach the year and Siirt province label to any count you quote.
