History

The term comes from Alan Turing who was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist known for breaking the enigma code.[1]

The flag for Turian was made by Tumblr user Kenochoric on October 4th 2020.[2]

The terms Turian, Veldian, and Lavenian were made later, on November 13th 2020.[3]

The "ocean gay mlm" like/wintergreen turian flag was published by kenochoric on February 27, 2022.[4]

Veldian is an alternative term for those who prefer not to use labels that include names and comes from the Afrikaans word veld or veldt[5] meaning a grassland.[5]
