What does Enishan mean?
Friend, companion; khan, ruler
In Turkish: dost, yakın; han, hükümdar
Enishan can be read as a combination of Enis, expressing companionship, and Han, a title of rulership. On that reading it brings two separate associations together; the compound should not be assigned a single fixed phrase meaning without confirmation of how it was formed.
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 →
