 It is very common for families to have surnames that belong to the region of Turkey that their ancestors migrated from; for example, Tokatlı, Eskişehirli, Muğlalı, and İzmirli are very common surnames.After Libya fell to the Italians in 1911, most Turks still remained in the region.According to the census conducted by the Italian colonialists in 1936 the Turkish community formed 5% of Libya's population, of which 30,000 lived along the Tripolitanian coast.
