In an April 2016 article published in Turkey’s “The Guide Istanbul,” one notes:

“Our word ‘tulip’ is even derived from the Persian word for ‘turban’ – Europeans learned this word from the Ottoman elite, who spoke a form of Turkish with strong influences from Persian.”

Of course, many sources indicate that tulips were native to Iran… and we’ve discussed in that past that Iranians sent tulips to their lover…

“We are told that in Persia the tulip, whose blossom in its native countryis scarlet, while the centre of its glowing cup is black, is used to expresswarm affection; and, when sent by a lover, will convey to the object of his attachment the idea that like this flower, his face is warm and his heart is consumed as a coal.”
