[ANSTHRLD] Re:Nurbanu

I would recommend these 3 web sites from the government of
Turkey.  I assume they know the names of the Ottomon
sultan families.

Turkish Foreign Ministry
http://www.mfa.gov.tr/grupe/eh/eha/ehaa/2000-01/13.htm

City of Istanbul website
http://www.istanbul.com/ExploreDetail.asp?CatID=20&ConID=125

The 700th anniversity site of the Ottomon Empire
http://www.osmanli700.gen.tr/english/miscel/wife.html

Nurbanu is certainly period from the late 1500s.  I find the name
being used a lot in modern Turkey so it doesn't seem to be
unique to the Sultana.

This is about the best we have on Turkish names at this time.
