I was always told that Kalash meant handsome. Now there is some argument from my daughter about that. Also, that Guleserian meant rose. Anyone else know? The Kalashians were from Kharpet and the Guleserians were from Aintab. Thanks so much everyone.

"güleser" and "keleş" are surnames that are seldom used in turkish. Also "güleser" can sometime used as a name(female).
