One of my family members is trying to find their relatives in Turkey, who have the surname Zerzavatci, but is finding it nearly impossible. I was wondering if the name Zerzavatci is extremly uncommon, especially in the UK? Have you ever known anybody with that name?
I've asked this question before, but in a different category. I've just noticed that there is a category for Turkey, so I decided to ask the question again, and put it this section, in the hope that it will be seen by someone either from Turkey or someone who is interested in the country, and knows a bit about it...!

I tried to search "Zerzavatçı" as a surname in google but I had no answers. I think its not a surname, its a tribe. In Türkiye, there r lots of large tribes like Muratoğulları, Avşar, İskenderoğulları, Kalyoncu, Demirci, Turgut, etc. and these names may not be their surnames. For example my surname is Aykal and i m a member of Muratoğulları tribe which has 1200 members in Mardin/Türkiye.
There is a village in Beykoz Istanbul called "Zerzavatçı Köyü" (Zerzavatçı Village) and Zerzavatçı family may be living there and gave their names to the village.
Good luck...

Are you certain that you have the correct spelling? Doesn't sound right. You could try this link to search the name http://www.ttrehber.gov.tr it's Turkey's on-line phone directory, however, you may need a Turkish keyboard for success as the c at the end of the name may be 'ch' which is a c with a comma (cedilla) underneath. Good Luck.

I've answered this question before. As I said in that answer this name is very uncommon in Turkey and it means someone who sells vegetables in Turkish. It sounds funny as a name, sounds like a joke to me.

You should try "Zerzavatçı" with the Turkish characters.
