In ordinary Turkish, açlar is the plural form of aç, and it can function as a noun or an adjective in different senses. As a noun, açlar commonly means “the hungry” or “the starved,” used as a collective noun to describe people who are hungry. The form follows standard Turkish pluralization with the suffix -lar.

As a proper noun, Açlar is used as a Turkish surname and can also appear in place names. When used as a surname, it follows typical Turkish naming patterns and may derive from historical or geographical associations related to the root aç. In toponymy, Açlar can occur as the name of settlements or geographic features, treated as a capitalized proper noun.

Linguistically, the root aç is connected to related words such as açlık (hunger) and açmak (to open or to turn on), reflecting different semantic fields that share the same root. The plural form Açlar adheres to Turkish orthography, with capitalization when referring to a proper noun.

Because Açlar can function both as a common noun and as a proper noun, its meaning is determined by context.
