Meaning of Khashoggi[edit]
On-line translators including Google and Bing translate kaşıkçı to spoonbill, a type of bird.
The page Jamal Khashoggi claims that:
His surname means "spoon maker" (Kaşıkçı) in the Turkish language[1]
However, "spoonmaker" is an occupational surname and the idea that anyone works as just a spoonmaker seems doubtful.
Something's not right.
