Batıhan name meaning
“ruler of the west; western khan”

What does Batıhan mean?
Ruler of the west; western khan
In Turkish: batının hanı, batı hükümdarı
Batıhan joins a cardinal direction with a historical title of rulership. Its first element refers to the west, and the compound's literal explanation does not necessarily identify a particular historical ruler. It resembles Batuhan in sound and spelling, but their first elements should not automatically be treated as identical.
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 →
