Soner, I am curious about your name!

Most names have a meaning. Mine for instance means 'the faithful'. And going back 150 years or so 'Von' was lost. And an 'ö' or "ø" became "y".
When I saw your last name the first time, I was thinking 'it sounds greek'. I have not yet read you book, looking forward to that, and there might be an explanation. But I think your last name must have been
'Küfi'. And I am not going to try to explain that, except for saying calligraphic script (arabic) or coming from Kufa. Soner means 'the last man'.
I have seen somebody writing Söner to you. Soner means 'the last man'.
If I am totally wrong, I will add a bit more than I already told you, to SKF, Lefkoşa.
And if you dislike my curiosity, you can always ban me for a loong time.

LOL, you are 100% correct Banjo. Simple explaination for the way my surname it is now written, is in my book.
