There are many ideas about the derivation of the name Kastamonu: |
|||
The city is believed to have been founded in the 18th century BC. The town was known as ''Timonion'' (Τιμόνιον in [[Greek language|Greek]]) during the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] period.{{citation needed|date=August 2019}} |
|||
According to the first view, it should be considered that the name Kastamonu is Turkishized from the name [[Paphlagonia|Paphlagonía]] [Greek "land of Paphlagon (people)"]. The region covering the [[West Black Sea Region (statistical)|West Black Sea]] and Central Black Sea regions was called Paphlagonia before the [[Turkic peoples|Turks]]. Today, Kastamonu, [[Sinop, Turkey|Sinop]], [[Bartın]], [[Çankırı]] and [[Karabük]] are located in this region, while parts of [[Çorum]], [[Bolu]], [[Zonguldak]] and [[Samsun]] provinces remain within the region. The Paphlagonians, who dominated this region in 1000 BC, gave their name to this geography.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Nijman |first=Jan |title=Geography: Realms, Regions, and Concepts |date=2020 |publisher=Wiley |isbn=978-1119607410 |edition=20.}}</ref> |
|||
The change of name of the town dates to the tenth century AD. [[Manuel Erotikos Komnenos]], a prominent general and the father of the [[Byzantine]] emperor [[Isaac I Komnenos]], was given lands around the city by Emperor [[Basil II]] and built a fortress there named ''Kastra Komnenon'' (Κάστρα Κομνηνῶν). Manuel came to the notice of Basil II because of his defence, in 978, of [[Nicaea]] against the rebel [[Bardas Skleros]].<ref>Runciman, pp. 54-55</ref> The name ''Kastra Komnenon'' was shortened to ''Kastamone'', and later Turkified to Kastamoni and Kastamonu. |
|||
According to a second opinion, the city of Kastamonu took its name from the name Kastama, which was used for the same region in the [[Hittites|Hittite]] period. The name Kastama turned into Kastamonu over time.<ref>Ahmet Ünal, Hititler Devrinde Anadolu Cilt 2, syf. 54</ref> |
|||
According to another view, the city of Kastamonu took its name from the combination of the words Gas and Tumanna. Gas, or better known as Kashkas, are among the first settlers of Kastamonu. Tumanna is the name of a city/region located on Kastamonu at that time. The combination of these two words took the form of Kastamonu over time.<ref>Talat Mümtaz Yaman, Kastamonu Tarihi, syf. 175</ref> |
|||
According to a third opinion, the city of Kastamonu took its name from the combination of the words Kastra and Komnen. The word Kastra means "castle" in Latin. The Komnens are a [[List of Roman dynasties|Byzantine Dynasty]] and the settlers of this region during the Byzantine period. These two words took the form of Kastamonu over time.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Archived Copy |url=http://www.kastamonukultur.gov.tr/TR-63806/tarihce.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180930193226/http://www.kastamonukultur.gov.tr/TR-63806/tarihce.html |archive-date=30 September 2018}}</ref> |

There are many ideas about the derivation of the name Kastamonu:
According to the first view, it should be considered that the name Kastamonu is Turkishized from the name Paphlagonía [Greek "land of Paphlagon (people)"]. The region covering the West Black Sea and Central Black Sea regions was called Paphlagonia before the Turks. Today, Kastamonu, Sinop, Bartın, Çankırı and Karabük are located in this region, while parts of Çorum, Bolu, Zonguldak and Samsun provinces remain within the region. The Paphlagonians, who dominated this region in 1000 BC, gave their name to this geography.[4]
According to a second opinion, the city of Kastamonu took its name from the name Kastama, which was used for the same region in the Hittite period. The name Kastama turned into Kastamonu over time.[5]

Ibn Battuta visited the city, noting it as "one of the largest and finest cities, where commodities are abundant and prices low." He stayed here forty days.[8]
The famous Sufi saint of the city is Sheikh Shaban Veli (Şaban-ı Veli in Turkish, d. 976 AH/1569 AD).[9][10]
