What does Onurhan mean?
Honourable khan; respected ruler
In Turkish: onurlu han; saygın hükümdar
Onurhan joins the modern Turkish concept of honour with a historical title of rulership. Han appears both independently and within Turkish personal names. It shares its opening element with Onur and Onural, but the title alone does not associate the name with any particular historical ruler.
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 →
