Turkey has bad city names even in its own language.
Along the north coast, you will find a town called Çarşamba (Wednesday), which if you continue to drive for a few hours is followed by a town called Perşembe (Thursday).
The name of the capital of Tajikistan, Dushanbe, means Monday as well iirc.
Most probably all these names just indicate market day...
Sounds plausible,
Similar to weekday names in Portuguese.
But Who's on first.
