What does Çağhan mean?
A name combining era and ruler
In Turkish: çağ ve han öğelerinden oluşan ad
Çağhan can be interpreted as a modern compound joining a word for time to a title of rulership. In Turkish names, han evokes authority and sovereignty. Reading the whole name as 'ruler of the age' is an interpretation, however, rather than an independently established literal definition.
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 →
