Akçura

Akçura is a Turkish toponym that may refer to several geographic locations in Turkey, as well as a surname. In provincial and rural contexts, it is used for small settlements or neighborhoods rather than a single, unified place.

Etymology: The name combines Turkish elements commonly found in Anatolian toponyms. The component ak means white or pure, and the second part is a suffix form that appears in numerous place-names, though its precise origin in this compound is not consistently documented.

Geography: Places named Akçura are typically rural villages or hamlets situated within districts (ilçe) in different provinces. Because the same toponym is reused in multiple locales, each Akçura has distinct local administration and historical context.

Usage and administration: In the Turkish administrative system, such places may be officially classified as villages within a district or as neighbourhoods within a municipality, depending on provincial organization and recent reforms. The name persists in local signage and municipal records.

See also: Notable uses of the name vary regionally; for precise identification, the province, district, or neighborhood designation is usually required.
