| The town and the lake were formerly called Egridir, a Turkish pronunciation of the town's old Greek name Akrotiri. However, Egridir means "it is crooked" in Turkish, and therefore, to remove the negative connotations of the name, in the 1980s the ââ¬Åiââ¬Â and the ââ¬Årââ¬Â were transposed in a new official name, thus creating Egirdir, a name that evokes spinning and flowers although many people in Turkey still call both the town and the nearby Lake Egirdir by its former name. |
