koydurmaz
Koydurmaz is a Turkish surname and, less commonly, a place name. In Turkish onomastic practice, it is typically treated as a compound derived from two elements: koy and durmaz. Koy means village or rural settlement, while durmaz comes from durmak (to stop) with the negative suffix -maz, meaning “does not stop” or “will not stop.” As a surname, koydurmaz may have originated as a toponymic or descriptive name, possibly indicating a family from a place associated with perseverance or a characteristic attributed to the family. The exact origin can vary between families, and Turkish surname formation often reflects geography, occupation, or distinctive nicknames.
The name is used among Turkish-speaking populations and in diaspora communities. It is not widely documented
