  5. Etymology • “Turk” • c.1300, from Fr. Turc, from M.L. Turcus, from Byzantine Gk. Tourkos, Pers. turk, a national name, of unknown origin. Said to mean "strength" in Turkish. Cf. Chinese tu-kin, name given c.177 B.C.E. as that of a people living south of the Altai Mountains (identified by some with the Huns). In Persian, turk, in addition to the national name, also could mean "a beautiful youth," "a barbarian," "a robber." Meaning "person of Irish descent" is first recorded 1914 in U.S., apparently originating among Irish-Americans; of unknown origin (Ir. torc "boar, hog" has been suggested). • “Turkoman” • 1600, from M.L. Turcomannus, from Pers. Turkman, lit. "Turk-like," from Turk + -man "like." • Oriental dish of rice boiled with meat, 1612, from Turk. pilav, from Pers. pilaw. Spelling infl. by Mod.Gk. pilafi, from the Turkish word. • “Plov” / “Pilaf” • Oriental dish of rice boiled with meat, 1612, from Turk. pilav, from Pers. pilaw. Spelling infl. by Mod.Gk. pilafi, from the Turkish word.

  7. Why Plov?: • It is traditionally made with mutton (lamb) which was/is a readily available meat source and a highly valued part of the Turkmen culture. • It consists mainly of rice – one of the few crops/grains that would grow in such a sparse environment. The growing of rice was the primary focus of the Turkmens’ harvest and water celebrations. • Plov is traditionally one of the main dishes for celebrations and guests. Therefore, it has a long history with the people of Turkmenistan.
