Emirşah

Emirşah is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Anamur, Mersin Province, Turkey.

The name of the village is composed of two Islamic titles, emir (lord) and şah (king).

However, there is no historical record of any Islamic lordship centered in or around Emirşah; the origin of the name is therefore unknown.

This name refers to a rebellious Turkmen tribe which was forced to settle in various localities by the Ottoman government.

Like most villages in the surrounding area, Emirşah specializes in greenhouse agriculture and banana plantations.
