Sigh ... saatçi is a semitic word, not Turkish
Cf. sha'a in Hebrew. The surname Saatchi is used by Iraqi Jews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.97.119.61 (talk) 17:56, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- "saatçi" is also a Turkish word, though. Considering both Albania and Kosovo were a part of Ottoman Empire (Turkish Empire) for centuries, it is very likely that the origin of her surname is indeed Turkish. --78.0.192.29 (talk) 03:12, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Serbia, not Kosovo
Kosovo is a Serbian province, not an UN member state, so respect it please. Also back to year she was born, it was definitely Serbia!
Kosovar/Albanian origins in lead
COnsidering she was born to Albanian parents in Kosovo, would it be reasonable to make the origins in the lead 'Albanian-British' or 'Kosovar-British'? Munci (talk) 22:35, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
yes consider the page for Dua lipa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dua_Lipa ( 08/12/2017) that states "an English/Albanian singer, songwriter and model."
using the same syntax Ora is a English\Kosovar singer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevinc565 (talk • contribs) 23:55, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

On her location on where she grew up it says she grew up near Portobello Road. although correct to be more specific she grew up in Ladbroke Grove, West London which is just down the road from the Portobello market. she has also stated this many times herself.[1].
