What does Kiçihan mean?
Little or young khan
In Turkish: küçük veya genç han
Kiçihan appears to combine a royal title with an element indicating smallness or youth. That description could concern age, relative standing, or simple differentiation; it does not establish a connection to a particular historical figure. The name shares its first element with Kiçialp and its second with other han compounds.
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 →
