Duroğlu

Duroğlu is a Turkish surname. It is commonly found throughout Turkey and in diaspora communities of Turkish origin. The name likely derives from a combination of "Dur-" (meaning "stand," "stop," or "stay") and "oğlu" (meaning "son of"). Therefore, a possible interpretation of the surname Duroğlu is "son of the one who stands/stays/stops." This could refer to an ancestor who was known for their steadfastness, resilience, or perhaps their role as a guard or watchman. As with many surnames, its precise origin and meaning can vary depending on regional and family history.
