Urfa is historically presumed to be the home of Abraham of Genesis fame.I think that is Ur (in present-day Iraq), not Urfa (in Turkey).

Urfa is historically presumed to be the home of Abraham of Genesis fame. No,Abraham's Ur is down toward Basra in Iraq. Urfa is a relatively recent name for Edessa.

Once there was an honored father in the city of Ur in Chaldea and his name was ‘Honored-Father’ and he made a compact with God, and God foretold that he would be the father of many nations and so his name was changed to “Father-Of-Nations”.
