JuniorB answered it well.
The word "doner" in Turkish actually means rotating or turning.
Hence turning kebab. As opposed to other types of kebab.

Is this different to a donor kebab which is BBQ'd meat served to wealthy guests after a political rally in the US?

As a Vic living in Adelaide, this whole conversation has really pissed me off. Us Vics have gotten it wrong and call a gyros a souva (what's this laki that people are speaking of) and these ****wits are right calling it a gyros. Next thing someone will post that their pronunciation of cahstle is right and castle is wrong.

Personally I'm happy with Souvlaki, Yiros, Gyros, but I think we can all agree that the Greek Greeks have it wrong by putting chips in them.

Piss of SR. Chips is a must in a Gyros with tzatziki. Don't get me started bro.
No chips tastes like shit
What are your thoughts on putting pineapple instead?

Chips are ok on "giros plate" - I don't go for chips in a souvlaki or gyros wrap

It's blasphemy, I've been to Greece and never saw a fish and chip shop. Just because all fish and chip shops were owned by Greeks back in the 70's, 80's and 90s doesn't mean chips are a staple diet for Greeks. In It's purity, a souvlaki is pure Greek. Anything else is Turkish or middle eastern

I've been thinking about this. A souva is a wrap and the good ones come off a rotisserie and don't have chips in them. It's surprising that the Greeks have gotten the name and contents of their own food wrong, but they clearly have.
