- aceticAnother possible origin of the surname is as a descendant of the Dukas (or Doukas) family name. Over time, Dukas evolved into Dumas, which was later adapted to Duman—meaning 'smoke' in Turkish—during the 1923 surname reforms in Turkey. This is most probable for the Duman families from the Aegean side of Turkey.
The Doukai were a prominent Byzantine noble family from Paphlagonia (modern-day northern Turkey), influential especially in the later Byzantine period.
