Guest, a welcomed visitor
In Turkish: konuk, ağırlanan misafir
Mihman is a word for a guest found in Turkish poetry and song. In mystical expression, it can also evoke human life as a temporary stay in the world. As a name, it suggests visiting and hospitality; permanence is not a reliable interpretation of its source meaning.
The ending “-an” is a common final sound rather than a suffix with one shared meaning here. Aslan, Hasan and Yaman have different origins and structures despite their matching endings. More boy names ending in -an →
