Can anyone shed some light on the possible roots of this Turkish name: �r�nsak.

I have found out that �r�n is a new Turkish word introduced in 1935 meaning product and the Mongolian equivalent is �ren meaning some sort of fruit. Sak I have discovered could be linked to Kazakh:

''The name Kazakh, both for the people and for the nation itself, is derived from the ancient Turkic words "ka" which means "great" and "sak" which means the name of ancient tribe and the Avestan/Old Persian.'

Sak being of Turkish or Iranic origin...? :

For the word sak (saka) was supposed the etymology from the ancient Iranian verb sak - �to go, flow, run�, and on its base: saka - �running, swift, vagrant, nomadic� http://www.transoxiana.org/0110/kamoliddin_bahram_chobin.html#92sym -

- from the Turkish verb sak (saq) - �to awake, guard�, and on its base sak - �awake, alert� and sakči - guard, guardian� http://www.transoxiana.org/0110/kamoliddin_bahram_chobin.html#94sym -

sakar ~ ET? sakar alında uğursuzluk nişanı ve alnında bu nişan bulunan kimse (xiv) - someone who aims

Please, if anyone can find out more it'd be very welcome! Thanks. http://www.transoxiana.org/0110/kamoliddin_bahram_chobin.html#94sym -
