  Ismail Djenani (notice spelling without "h") is mentioned in quite a few Google books. For example, books.google.com/books?id=1s8oAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA868 where he is listed as a director of the National Bank of Turkey. Bey after the name is the Turkish form of address equivalent to Mr. in English or -san in Japanese. At this time, Turks would have used arabic script, and so any name in latin script will be a transliteration.

  Thanks for your research, swanq, and the clarification of the salutation "Bey." We'll add the corrected spelling of the name to the record the next time we update.
