General Info on Family Name Turek

I have heard for years that the Turek family name was somehow connected to the Turks or Tatars until tonight when I looked at a site for the city of Turek. The site indicated that Tur is Polish (either archaeic or current I don't know) for bull. My father is not living anymore so I don't have anyone to ask.Makes me wonder which story is now correct.
My family (grandparents) emigrated from Poland.
