What does Mihrican mean?
Autumn festival; a cold autumn wind
In Turkish: sonbahar bayramı; sonbaharın soğuk yeli
Mihrican brings together an autumn festival from the Iranian calendar and a Turkish term for a seasonal cold wind. Its cultural background also includes the associations of Mihr with sunlight and affection. Explaining the name solely as a cold wind therefore leaves out an important part of its history.
Can comes from Persian and means “life” or “soul,” as in Nurcan and Gülcan. Mercan is a separate word meaning “coral”; its final letters are not the same component. More girl names ending in -can →
