What does Kadirhan mean?
Powerful ruler
In Turkish: güç sahibi han
Kadirhan combines an element associated with power or esteem and a title of rulership. Because Turkish Kadir can reflect two different Arabic words, the compound needs some interpretive caution. Its resemblance to Kadir and Kadri does not make every meaning of those names interchangeable.
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 →
