What does Girayhan mean?
A name combining Giray with a ruler’s title
In Turkish: Giray ve hükümdarlık unvanını birleştiren ad
Girayhan combines a dynastic name and a ruler’s title into a single personal-name form. The Giray khans of Crimean history provide its clearest historical association. The compound should not automatically be identified with the exact historical name of a particular khan; its interpretation rests on the two elements from which it is 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 →
