'{{Wiktionary|Mehmed}} '''Mehmed''' (modern [[Turkish language|Turkish]]: '''Mehmet''') is the most common Turkish form of the [[Arabic language|Arabic]] name [[Muhammad (name)|Muhammed]] (''Muhammed'' and ''Muhammet'' are also used, though considerably less) and gains its significance from being the name of the [[Muhammad|Prophet of Islam]]. Originally the intermediary vowels in the Arabic ''Muhammed'' were completed with an ''e'', which spelled '''Mehemed''', it lost a vowel over time, also changed from a hard ''d'' sound to a softer ''t'' sound. The Prophet himself is referred to in Turkish using the full version, ''Muhammed''. It is the most common Turkish male given name,{{fact|date=December 2011}} and also often appears in [[Mehmed#Derived names|derived compound names]]. The name is also prevalent in Turkish influenced cultures, particularly Balkan Muslims. An affectionate form of Mehmet may be ''Memo''. The name is also commonly used in Turkish culture in the form of [[Mehmetçik]], meaning ''little Mehmet'', for unranked soldiers. ==Given name== ===Mehmed=== *[[Muhammad Ali of Egypt|Kavalalı Mehmed Ali Paşa]] (1769–1849), Ottoman statesman of Albanian descent *[[Mehmed I]] (1389–1421), Ottoman sultan (''Kirisci'', ''"the Executioner"'') *[[Mehmed II]] (1432–1481), Ottoman sultan (''Fatih'', ''"the Conqueror"'') *[[Mehmed III]] (1566–1603), Ottoman sultan *[[Mehmed IV]] (1642–1693), Ottoman sultan (''Avcı'', ''"the Hunter"'') *[[Mehmed V]] (1844–1918), Ottoman sultan *[[Mehmed VI]] (1918–1922), the 36th and last Ottoman sultan, the 100th Caliph of Islam *[[Mehmed Abdulaziz]], Ottoman prince *[[Mehmed Alagić]], Bosnian soldier *[[Mehmed Alajbegović]], Croatian politician *[[Mehmed Alispahić]], Bosnian footballer *[[Mehmed Baždarević]], Bosnian football manager *[[Mehmed Bushati]], Albanian Pasha *[[Mehmed Ertuğrul Efendi]], Ottoman prince *[[Saffet Pasha|Mehmed Esat Saffet Pasha]], Ottoman Grand Vizier *[[Mehmed Handžić]], Bosnian author *[[Mehmed Janjoš]], Bosnian football manager *[[Mehmed Kalakula]], Albanian politician *[[Mehmed Malkoč]], Bosnian footballer *[[Mehmed Merejan]], Bulgarian poet *[[Mehmed Orhan]], Ottoman prince *[[Mehmed Namık Pasha]], Ottoman statesman *[[Mehmed Said Efendi]], Ottoman statesman *[[Mehmed Selim Pasha]], Ottoman statesman *[[Mehmed Spaho]], Bosnian politician *[[Mehmed Talat]], Ottoman Grand Vizier *[[Mehmed Uzun]], Kurdish writer *[[Sokollu Mehmed Paşa]] (1506–1579), Ottoman statesman of Bosnian descent *[[Sultanzade Mehmed Pasha]], 17th century Ottoman grand vizier ===Mehmet=== *[[Mehmet Ağar]], Turkish former police chief *[[Mehmet Akgün]], Turkish-German footballer *[[Mehmet Al]], Turkish footballer *[[Mehmet Altınsoy]], Turkish politician *[[Mehmet Aslantuğ]], Turkish actor *[[Mehmet Aydın]], Turkish politician *[[Mehmet Aurélio]], Brazilian-born Turkish footballer *[[Mehmet Batdal]], Turkish footballer *[[Mehmet Boztepe]], Turkish-German footballer *[[Mehmet Bölükbaşı]], Turkish footballer *[[Mehmet Budak]], Turkish footballer *[[Mehmet Cavit Bey]], Turkish economist *[[Mehmet Cesur]] (born 1982), Turkish Paralympian goalball player *[[Mehmet Eren Boyraz]], Turkish footballer *[[Mehmet Emin Toprak]], Turkish businessman *[[Mehmet Esat Bülkat]], Ottoman general *[[Mehmet Çakır]], Turkish footballer *[[Mehmet Cansun]], Turkish businessman *[[Mehmet Cemaleddin Efendi]], Turkish judge *[[Mehmet Çoban]], Turkish wrestler *[[Mehmet Çoğum]], Turkish footballer *[[Mehmet Coral]], Turkish novelist *[[Mehmet Culum]], Turkish novelist *[[Mehmet Dragusha]], Albanian footballer *[[Mehmet Durakovic]], Australian footballer *[[Mehmet Ebussuud el-İmadi]], Ottoman jurist *[[Mehmet Ekici]], German footballer *[[Mehmet Ergen]], Turkish theatre director *[[Mehmet Eroğlu]], Turkish novelist *[[Mehmet Erte]], Turkish poet and writer *[[Mehmet Eymür]], Turkish intelligence official *[[Mehmet F.
