==Etymology==
==Etymology==
According to the 1074-dated dictionary [[Dīwān ul-Lughat al-Turk]], haymana means [[prairie]] in [[Turkish language|Turkish]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cumhuriyet.com.tr/haber/diger/278074/Ankara_nin_ilce_isimleri.html|title = Ankara'nın ilçe isimleri}}</ref>
Haymana is named after ''Hayme Ana'' the mother of [[Osman I]] the founder of the [[Ottoman Empire]].


==History==
==History==
Archaeological excavations were launched in ''Gavur Kalesi'', a castle situated in the village of Dereköy, in the years 1930 and 1998. The results showed that it was an important [[Phrygians|Phrygian]] settlement. Besides, the tumuli located in Türkhöyük and Oyaca villages prove that the area was also inhabited during the [[Hittites|Hittite]] period.<ref name="mun">{{cite web|url=http://www.haymana.bel.tr/haymana.html |title=Brief history of Haymana |access-date=2008-03-27 |author=Municipality of Haymana, Turkey |language=tr |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140801134255/http://www.haymana.bel.tr/haymana.html |archive-date=August 1, 2014 }}</ref>
Excavations of the castle ''Gavur Kalesi'' show [[Hittite]] occupation, although archaeological researach continues in an effort to support [[Atatürk]]'s statement that "''[[Anatolia]] has been the homeland of Turks for at least 5,000 years''".


After the periods of the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] and [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] rule, the area was captured by the [[Seljuk Turks]] in 1127. After the [[Battle of Köse Dağ]] it came under [[Ilkhanate]] control for a while. In the mid 14th century the area was annexed by the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]]. After a brief period of [[Timurid dynasty|Timurid]] rule in the wake of the [[Battle of Ankara]] in 1402, it was re-captured by the Ottomans.<ref name="mun" />
==Haymana today==
Once this was a thriving country market town, but in recent decades the middle classes have continuously migrated to Ankara in search of jobs and careers and Haymana has become populated by villagers from the surrounding countryside, an area with a substantial [[Kurdish]] population.


== Demographics ==
Haymana has an unsavoury reputation; this was brought to light in 2006 when a TV quiz show (the Turkish edition of [[Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?]]) asked the question "''Which of these is an old word for a herd of donkeys?''" and had "''Haymana''" as one of the options. (the other options were a word for ''shoehorn'' which is a metaphor for ''pimp'' in Turkish; "''haylaz''" a rebuke for a badly behaved child; and the correct answer "''hergele''"). The people of Haymana were furious and the local MP made demands for an apology reminding the country that the people of Haymana had played a part in the [[Turkish War of Independence]] and had supported the Republic of Turkey at the very beginning.
