Hasty, quick to act
In Turkish: aceleci, çabuk davranan
Under its proposed Arabic derivation, Ajlan belongs to the semantic field of haste and quick action. Its unusual Turkish spelling warrants checking against the source form; use for both women and men should be considered separately from the grammatical form of the Arabic word.
The ending “-an” is a common final sound rather than a suffix with one shared meaning here. Aslan, Hasan and Yaman have different origins and structures despite their matching endings. More boy names ending in -an →
