Name: “Ali” is of Arabic origin. It means “sublime, exalted”. My second name is pronounced “Chivril”, which is the name of the town I was born in. Here is some information. “Chivril” is claimed to be a Luwian name (an old Anatolian language), meaning “water through a passageway”. It’s a rare second name.

Useless Note: There are 3 other “Ali Çivril”s alive on the earth as far as I know, all of them being my relatives. If you google my name, all the links except two are related to me. So, I’m the most famous :). One is living in Germany. I haven’t seen him for 13 years. He is most probably the guy standing here, second from the right.
