Çelikhan name meaning
“a ruler strong as steel”

What does Çelikhan mean?
A ruler strong as steel
In Turkish: çelik gibi sağlam han
Çelikhan combines the durability of steel with a title of rulership. Han occurs in many Turkish compound names, while çelik supplies the image of material strength. The same spelling names a district in Adıyaman, but that geographical use should be distinguished from the given name.
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 →
