Summary
There are two important opinions about the origin of the name ‘Tarhana’: It is thought that it comes from the words ‘terḥāne, Tarhune, Tarine’ in Persian and has become Turkish over time. Turks came to Anatolia via Iran and preferred Persian in scientific works at that time. The Emergence of Tarhana: “One day, the Ottoman Sultan and state officials go on a campaign. This person is Yavuz Sultan Selim and the expedition is to Iran or Aegypt. During the journey, they become guests of a nomadic oba (highland house). Sultan does not embarrass the woman, he says that he likes the soup very much. He orders his companions to make this soup in the Palace as well. Tarhana had been later recognized, loved, produced and consumed throughout the Ottoman geography (Figures 1 & 2)
