What does Ergican mean?
Attainment, fulfilment and soul
In Turkish: Erişme, kavuşma ve can
Ergican brings the idea of reaching an outcome together with life and soul. It combines can, familiar from Turkish names such as Can and Özcan, with the less common word ergi. Its meaning therefore rests on an association between attainment and vitality rather than on a single fixed sentence or expression.
Can comes from Persian and means “life” or “soul.” It appears as a component in names such as Ercan, Umutcan and Mertcan. More boy names ending in -can →
