Technically, the name Turkey came from the people known as the Turks. Who actually migrated to Europe from the western Tibet area. They entered the Europe/Middle East area around the Northern Caspian sea region. Then they moved south.
These Turks were very Xenophobic, ergo they closed their borders and Jerusalem to all forgieners. This sparked a series of wars that we call the Crusades.
