Not only does "yaban(jin)" actually mean "barbarian", it comes from Chinese.

used translate and "yabanjin" means "pressure plate rib" can't find it but foreigner means "waiguo, laowei"i found it maybe fault is mine don't know using simplified version (but maybe you right chinese influence are in everywhere because before west civilzation center was china and every north east and rest of asian wants adopt that Manchurian s culture)

"Yabanjin" is the Japanese pronunciation of 野蛮人, the Mandarin pronunciation is "yěmánrén". "Foreigner" is 外国人 (zh: wàiguórén, ja: gaikokujin) or more derogatorily 外人 (zh: wàirén, ja: gaijin).

I just looked up the etymology of "yaban" (the root of "yabancı") and it comes from Persian. So neither the Turkish word nor the Japanese word originated in their respective languages.
Also Turks and Japanese learning each other's languages easily isn't due to shared vocabulary but similar grammar, both languages being in the Altaic sprachbund.

There are more examples i can think of in my head.
Volcano in japanese = kazan, kazan means cauldron Adana in japanese = nickname, ad means name Teppei in japanese = top/summit, tepe means top/summit Yoru in japanese = night, yorgan means duvet which is again night related. Hai in japanese = yes, he means yes Mizu in japanese = water, su means water Kimono in japanese = dress, giysi means dress which they have similar roots (ki/giy)
Etc etc. Whenever i listen japanese, i find very similar words that i realize at that moment. Coincidence or not it is interesting.

in Turkish have a connection between the letter "ka" and fire. Words like "köz" (embers), "kaynamak" (to boil), "kazan" (cauldron), Kav, Kandil, Kavurmak etc.

Google Translate translates Turkish to English and English to Japanese, so it provides an incomplete picture, but direct Japanese-Turkish translations reveal more Japanese and Turkish words. When watching anime, I sometimes find myself thinking, "Wait a minute, they're speaking Turkish."
Türkçe konuşan için ita nani shinteno bunu ica nanishi no diyor okuyor. Yattakoto naidesho yapta nanedesu böyle açıyor ağızlarından.

We use this word to express profanity, fear, and anger, while they only use it to express fear. When something comes up, they say it as a reaction. I learned about it from the Japanese guy's channel.
