Çorbacı Çorbacı ( sometimes variously transliterated as chorbaji , chorbadzhi , tschorbadji ) ( , ) was a military rank of the corps of Janissaries in the Ottoman Empire , used for the commander of an " orta " ( regiment ) , i . e . , approximately corresponding to the rank of colonel . The word is pronounced in Turkish and literally means " soup cook " , derived from " çorba " , " soup " . However , this word could be connected to an old Turkic word korbashi ( head of the unit / campfire ) . This title was widespread in Turkistan ( Central Asia ) up until 1940s , where Korbashis lead local rebel groups called Basmachi ( raiders ) against the Soviet regime . Because the Janissaries were based on the order of the kitchen ( e . g . chef , sous chef ) , korbashi is not connected to the rank . Janissaries wore spoons on their head dress , and every rank in the corps were kitchen related . In seafaring , the term was in use for the boss of a ship ' s crew , a role similar to that of boatswain . In several predominantly Christian areas of the Ottoman Empire , such as the current Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria , as well as many parts of Eastern Anatolia , the term çorbacı ( Macedonian : чорбаџија , " čorbadžija " ; Bulgarian : чорбаджия , " chorbadzhiya " Western Armenian : չորպաճի " ch ' orbaji " ) was also as used as a title for ( Christian ) members of the rural elite , heads of villages and other rural communities and rich peasants . The Ottomans employed them in various administrative positions , such as that of tax collector and in courts of law . Since the 19th century in independent Bulgaria , the term largely fell out of use as the Ottoman system was abandoned . During Ottoman rule the word τσορμπατζης ( pronounced chorbajis ) was used with the meaning of " mayor " in the Greek christian communities in the whole area of Thrace and in Western Asia Minor . The word is still in use in vernacular Turkish and Bulgarian with the meaning of " boss " . It is also a common family name among Albanians , Bulgarians , Turks or Ukrainians ( e . g . a vice - governor of Odessa is named Ivan Chorbadzhi - Иван Чорбаджи ) .
