Guide
Understanding Uşak’s changing name preferences
Popular baby names in Uşak can be explored through current counts and earlier annual leaders. The population lists offer a separate view of names recorded across the province, beyond the latest baby-name choices.

Read the recent girls’ leaders as a sequence
TÜİK’s province-level annual leaders for Uşak show Zeynep at the top of the girls’ list from 2018 through 2021, followed by Defne in 2022 and Gökçe from 2023 through 2025. Gökçe’s recorded leading counts are 28 in 2023, 39 in 2024 and 56 in 2025. That establishes an increase in its count across those years, without explaining the reasons for it. Explore Gökçe and Defne, then use the baby-name overview to keep annual rankings separate from broader name information.
Compare the boys’ lead with the names behind it
According to TÜİK’s Uşak province figures, Alparslan leads the boys’ baby-name list from 2021 through 2024, while Metehan leads in 2025. The latest list also includes Atlas with 18 and Aslan with 17. These counts describe the recorded choices; they do not show why a name was selected. Metehan means “Mete Khan; Mete the ruler,” while Alparslan means “valiant, courageous lion.” Both have Turkish origins. The origin index helps explore that linguistic information without treating it as a description of the bearer.
Use the population list for a different question
For the most common names in Uşak, Turkey, consult the population figures rather than substituting the baby-name leaders. TÜİK’s 2025 Uşak list records Ayşe with 6,579, Fatma with 6,121 and Emine with 4,935 among female names. Mehmet leads male names with 7,521, followed by Mustafa with 5,569 and Ali with 4,708. The entries for Mehmet and Mustafa explain their meanings separately. Use the statistics pages to distinguish these population totals from counts attached to the year’s baby names.
Comparing Uşak names carefully
- Follow Gökçe’s annual counts alongside its leading positions; rank and count answer different questions.
- Keep Elif, Eylül and Mihra tied in the 2025 girls’ list.
- Preserve the full spelling of Ömer Asaf when comparing entries.
- Keep the surname list, led by Yılmaz in the supplied figures, separate from given-name rankings.
