What does Bayhan mean?
A wealthy khan; a noble ruler
In Turkish: varlıklı han; soylu hükümdar
Bayhan recalls older meanings of bay beyond its modern use as a polite form of address. The element han can stand independently or appear at the end of Turkish compound names. The name combines wealth and rulership linguistically, without indicating an actual title, social position, or ancestry.
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 →
