Hayrani name meaning
“admiring; filled with wonder”
Hayrani means admiring or filled with wonder. It is formed from Arabic ḥayrān with the relational ending î and is used as a masculine given name in Türkiye. It is closely related to Hayran, evoking the experience of wonder before an impressive landscape or work of art.
What does Hayrani mean?
Admiring; filled with wonder
In Turkish: hayranlık duyan; hayrete düşmüş
Hayrani is associated with Seyyid Mahmud Hayrani in the history of Sufism. In older writing, wonder could include bewilderment or an ecstatic state, rather than admiration alone. The name therefore has a broader range of associations than modern Turkish hayran, and should not be confused with Hayri, which has a different root.
