Ecevit
There is an article on the Persian WP with the subject of Persian elements in Turkish. Could anyone please inform me about the etymology of the Istanbul Turkish word "Ecevit" ? It appears, for instance, in the family name of Bülent Ecevit, former PM of Turkey. I am aware of the origin of his first name, "Bülent", which has been burrowed from. I did not find the name's etymology here on this website as well. Thank you in advance. Hamid Hassani (talk) 22:02, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
