What does Emirhan mean?
A name combining emir and khan
In Turkish: emir ve han unvanlarını birleştiren ad
Emirhan brings two titles of authority together in one personal name. Emir and khan were used in different states and historical settings, so their combination does not necessarily designate a particular historical office. It is structurally related to Emir, Han, and other Turkish compound names ending in -han.
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 →
