The following is a list of notableTurkish Americans , including both original immigrants of full or partial Turkish descent who obtained American citizenship and their American descendants.
Most notable Turkish Americans have come from, or originate from,Turkey but there are also notable Americans of Turkish origin who have immigrated from, or descend from, the other formerOttoman territories, especially Turks from theBalkans , the island ofCyprus (e.g.Erden Eruç ,Halil Güven ,Hal Ozsan ,Abdul Kerim al-Qubrusi , andVamık Volkan , are ofTurkish Cypriot origin),North Africa (e.g.Leila Ahmed andNonie Darwish are ofTurkish-Egyptian origin, andMustapha Osman was ofTurkish-Tunisian origin), and theLevant (e.g.Etel Adnan is ofTurkish-Syrian origin;[ 1] David Chokachi [ 2] andSalih Neftçi are ofTurkish-Iraqi origin;Nabila Khashoggi is from theKhashoggi family who are of Turkish origin).
Some Turkish Americans have also come to the US from areas where there is a modernTurkish diaspora ; for example,Turhan Bey had aTurkish-Austrian background;Timothy Guy Kent has aTurkish Canadian background;Marie Tepe had aTurkish-French background;Ergun Caner has aTurkish-Swedish background;Kasim Edebali has aTurkish-German background; andDidem Erol has aTurkish Australian background.
