Name
[edit]The name Küçükbakkalköy means "little grocery village" (Turkish: küçük + bakkal + köy). The name is said to come from the market held in the Greek village that formerly existed in the area.[4]
The neighborhood was referred to as Μικροῦ Βακάλ-κιοϊ (Mikrou Vakal-kioi) in an 1823 history, as Πακαλ-κιοι (Pakal-kioi) on an 1875 Greek gravestone, as Micro-Bakal-keuy in an 1878 population report, and as Kutchuq Bakal-Keuy in an 1899 article on Ottoman cemeteries. [5][6][7]
History
[edit]The neighborhood is said to date from Byzantine times, with the neighborhood's Acısu Çeşmesi ("bitter water fountain") thought to be part of an old ayazma.[4]
Küçükbakkalköy is one of the historic Romani ("Gypsy") neighborhoods of Istanbul, along with Sulukule, Selamsız, Çürüklük, Tophane, Çayırboyu, and Lonca. In 2006, there were reported to be 240 Romani households in the neighborhood.[8]
