Turkomania

Turcomania or Turkomania was a historical geographic term appearing in maps and travel accounts for Central and Eastern Anatolia of present-day Turkey from the Middle Ages through the early modern period. It was used to describe a region not based on administrative boundaries, but on the presence of Turkomans by outside observers.

In Latin, the name Turcomania means “land of the Turcomans”, following a common Latin convention of using the -ia suffix to denote places associated with a particular people.
