sons/descendent of people from Uşak

Descendent of the people coming from Uşak province

Just like famous Turkish author Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil (Uşaklıgil has a very similar meaning to Uşakzade)

Such titles have usually become the surnames of the people after the Surname Revolution of Ataturk.

Her family, the Uşşakizade or Uşaklıgil family, lived in İzmir but was originally from Uşak, a town approximately 200 kilometers east of İzmir.

Uşakizade

I am sure it is Uşakizade. See Soner Yalçın's Efendi for reference.

This title may indicate that their ancestors are from Uşak Province in Anatolia (Turkey).

It might also indicate that one of the elders in the family tree worked as a servant (uşak) in a manor, house, etc. As for the word zade, it means son. So, uşakizade comes to mean something like "servantson" (descendant of a servant) according to this second assumption.

Going back to the first assumption, uşakizade comes to mean "descendant of a townsman of Uşak."

Uşakizade Family are originally from Uşak Province, and they are also known as "Helvacızadeler" for they once dealt with "halvah" production in their hometown (Uşak). They started to be called "Uşakizadeler" after they migrated to İzmir (Smyrna) from Uşak for commercial interests.
