köprüsü

Köprüsü is a Turkish toponym used for several settlements across Turkey. The name translates roughly as “bridge’s place” or “the bridge,” from köprü meaning bridge and the possessive suffix -sü, reflecting an association with a bridge or crossing. The term is a common component in place names in Turkish-speaking regions.

The places named Köprüsü are typically small rural villages or neighborhoods within larger administrative districts. They are spread across various provinces and regions, and in many instances are situated near rivers or crossable routes where a bridge once stood or continues to be a notable landmark. As a toponym, Köprüsü often indicates the historical importance of a bridge for local transport, commerce, or strategic connections.

Because Köprüsü is used broadly rather than referring to a single locality, the specific governance, population, and infrastructure depend on the individual locality. Some Köprüsü villages may have adapted to modern administrative structures, while maintaining the historical identity tied to the bridge.

If you are looking for a specific Köprüsü, please specify the province or district, as there are several places with this name.
