Adıyaman ( Kurdish Semsûr ) is a province in southeastern Turkey . It is surrounded by the provinces of Malatya , Kahramanmaraş , Gaziantep , Şanlıurfa and Diyarbakır . The province of Adıyaman is 7337 km².
location
Adıyaman is located in southeastern Anatolia . The area is very mountainous, one of the elevations is Mount Nemrut . The border to the province of Şanlıurfa is formed by the Euphrates , which is dammed here to form the Ataturk reservoir , the reservoir with the largest amount of water in Turkey.
Origin of the name "Adıyaman"
There are at least two accounts of the origin of the Turkish name of the city of Adıyaman, which gives the province its name, and one about the Kurdish name.
- Adıyaman is said to have had fertile valleys around it. Hence the name Vadi i Leman , which means "beautiful valley". The current name arose from this name.
- In a town called Farrin or Perrhe there is said to have been a man who worshiped idols. This man had seven sons who one day when the father was absent they destroyed idols in the name of the only God. When the father found out about this, he killed all of his sons. Thereupon a monastery was built in Farrin in honor of the sons. Since then, the city has been called Yedi Yaman , which means the “Brave Seven”. This then became Adıyaman.
- In the middle of the city is a castle , the name of which Hısn-ı Mansur means "Mansur's castle" in German. Mansur could be the Abbasid caliph Al-Mansur , or a commander of the Arab Umayyads who invaded here in the 7th century. The name Hısn-ı Mansur was pronounced by the people of Hüsnü Mansur and is still popularly the name of this province. The Kurdish semsur is derived from it.
In 1926 the province name was changed from Hısn-ı Mansur or Hüsnü Mansur to Adıyaman.
