Duruhan name meaning
“clear, limpid; ruler”

What does Duruhan mean?
Clear, limpid; ruler
In Turkish: duru, berrak; hükümdar
Duruhan can be read as a compound joining the clarity imagery of Duru with the title Han. In Turkish, duru can describe water, a voice or a style of expression, so the first element suggests a wider idea of clarity than physical cleanliness alone.
