Akyürek

Akyürek is a Turkish surname. It is a compound word derived from two Turkish words: "ak," meaning white or pure, and "yürek," meaning heart. Therefore, Akyürek can be interpreted as "white heart" or "pure heart."

The surname, like many Turkish surnames adopted after the Surname Law of 1934, likely reflects a desirable characteristic or quality that the family wished to associate with themselves. It may have also been derived from a personal nickname or a description of a prominent ancestor.

Akyürek is found as a surname among individuals of Turkish descent, both within Turkey and in diaspora communities.
