The Names in Turkish and Other Languages of Turkey Helichrysum Taxa
Öz
Since Anatolia has been home to many different civilizations and cultures throughout history, it carries traces of different cultures. The traces of different cultures are also seen in the local names of the plants. For example, genus Helichrysum Mill. is generally known as "everlasting", but the different names are given to this plant in different parts of Anatolia. The aim of this study is to investigate the local names, foreign common names and origins of Turkey Helichrysum species. In this study, a total of 63 local names belong to 30 Helichrysum taxa naturally occurring in Turkey are presented. Some species such as H. arenarium, H. graveolens, H. orientale, H. plicatum, H. sanguineum and H. stoechas have more local names. These species have been expressed in different localities in different regions because they are widely used by the public and have a wide distribution area in Turkey. Although there are well-known terms among the local names of Helichrysum species, there are also terms that are not commonly used in public. When the meaning and regions of these terms is examined, the factors such as plant colors, appearance patterns of open or unopened flowers and spreading areas are effective on local nomenclature. The most common local names in Helichrysum species are “ölmez çiçek”, “altın otu”, “sarı çiçek” and “yayla çiçeği”. There are also local names for a single species such as “püren” (H. arenarium), “kırmızı guddeme” (H. sanguineum), “beyaz kurna” (H. pamphylicum) ve “yoğurt çiçeği” (H. orientale). In this study, foreign common names of Helichrysum species are also given. The investigating the meanings of foreign common names which do not have full term equivalence in Turkish, the names which do not used in Anatolia such as “curry”, “goldilocks” and “prakthedblomster” are determined for the first time by this study.
