Aslanapa is a town in Kütahya Province in the Aegean region of Turkey. It is the seat of Aslanapa District.[2] Its population is 1,793 (2022).[1]
According to art historian Oktay Aslanapa, the name Aslanapa comes from an Ildeniz Turkmen group of the lineage of Arslan Apa who migrated after the Battle of Malazgirt from the Nakhchivan region to where Aslanapa is now. According to literary scholar Cevdet Dadaş, the name Arslan Apa was a title of respect for a legendary hero, “Older Brother Lion” (Turkish: arslan + apa[3]).[4]
