Since you are almost surely from the USA, your grandfather is extremely unlikely to have been given the Turkish name.It's more likely that his middle name comes from the surname Bash, which seems to be an Americanized spelling of the German surname Basch, which is possibly from a pet form of Sebastian.

Bash is a Turkish name and it means Chief, Commander.

And in Turkey it's probably spelled Baş, not Bash.
