What does Altınhan mean?
A sovereign precious as gold
In Turkish: altın gibi değerli hükümdar
Altınhan combines sovereignty with the brightness and high value of gold. Han appears at the end of many compound names in Turkish. It is closely related to the form Altunhan, but its structure alone does not establish identity with, or direct borrowing from, historical figures named Altan Khan.
In compound names such as Metehan and Emirhan, han comes from the historical title khan, meaning a ruler. The same letters in Cihan have a different origin. More boy names ending in -han →
