What does Mevlüthan mean?
One who is born, and ruler
In Turkish: doğmuş olan ve hükümdar
Mevlüthan extends the name Mevlüt with the title han. In Turkish, Mevlüt also recalls the mevlit tradition commemorating the Prophet's birth, although its Arabic source literally means born or newborn. Han adds an association with historical rulership; the compound should not thereby be identified with a particular historical sovereign.
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 →
