Etymology
[edit]Aksaray means "White Palace" in Turkish.[1]
In antiquity the area was named Archelais Garsaura, which was mutated to Taksara during the Seljuk Turkish era, and then to Aksaray.
Taruisa was an ancient region of Anatolia and one of the lands of the Assuwa coalition that opposed the Hittites toward the end of the fifteenth century BC. It is named in the Annals of Tudḫaliya, a text that chronicled the acts of Hittite monarch Tudḫaliya I.
Etymology
[edit]The etymology of Taruisa is undocumented but may have been may have been a Hattic formulaic theophoric name for the Anatolia weather god Taru.[2] The
The root is found in Hittite as the nominative singular animate[3] of āssu (a-as-su-us) meaning "good." It is believed to have entered Hittite via Akkadian cuneform and first appears in the Proclamation of Telepinu circa 1525-1500 BC, where it was used in reference to the Hurrian city-state of URUHa-as-su-wa north of the Euphrates. It is found in adminisrative texts from the Zagros mountains polity of māt Utêm some two centuries early, preserved in Akkadian as wasunu (wa-šu-nu) and possibly related to the Luwian wāšu.

Kuruppiya was an ancient region of Anatolia and one of the lands of the Assuwa coalition that opposed the Hittites toward the end of the fifteenth century BC. It is named only in the Annals of Tudḫaliya, a text that chronicled the acts of Hittite monarch Tudḫaliya I.
Etymology
[edit]The etymology of Kuruppiya is undocumented but may have been may have been a Luwian formulaic theophoric name[6] for the Hurrian primordial giant Upelluri.[7] The cuniform KUR was appended to toponyms to denote "land," "country" or "region," while the Luwic stem piya meant "to give."
Geography
[edit]The site has yet to be archaeologically located.[8] Woudhuizen believed it was somewhere near Izmir.[9] It has been alternatively localized at Aksaray in Cappadocia.
History
[edit]Kuruppiya is named as one of the lands that comprised the Assuwa league, a military confederacy of twenty-two towns that opposed the Hittite army as it campaigned on the other side of the Maraššantiya:
But when I turned back to Hattusa, then against me these lands declared war: [—]lugga, Kispuwa, Unaliya, [—], Dura, Halluwa, Huwallusiya, Karakisa, Dunda, Adadura, Parista, [—], [—]waa, Warsiya, Kuruppiya, [—]luissa, Alatra, Mount Pahurina, Pasuhalta, [—], Wilusiya, Taruisa. [These lands] with their warriors assembled themselves...and drew up their army opposite me...[10]
The coalition appears to have been destroyed sometime after 1430 BC.[11] If Kuruppiya is to be equated with Askaray the town continued to exist, known as Kurşaura and later Garsaura by the Hittites, Archelaïs of Cappadocia by the Greeks and Taksará by the Seljuk Turks.
