[Facts] Re: NEEDED TO BE AMENDED
in reply to a message by Mike C
It is not that simple. Baran is listed in the name book of the Türk Dil Kurumu (Turkish language association), search for Baran on this web page: http://www.tdk.org.tr/index.php?option=com_kisiadlari&view=kisiadlari
They even claim a Turkish origin for that name: Köken: T. and confirm masculine usage: The colour is blue and Cinsiyet: (Erkek). They would never admit a Kurdish origin but usually they tell you the name is "Farsi" instead.
From this I conclude, that the usage "Turkish" is correct as far as I can see.
It also has Kurdish usage, as can be seen by consulting e.g. this website http://www.kurdname.webs.com/kurdishnames.htm
Conclusion: I will add Kurdish usage, but keep the Turkish usage.
