What does Sancarhan mean?
Warrior ruler; Sancar with the title khan
In Turkish: savaşçı hükümdar; Sancar ve han unvanı
Sancarhan combines a name with martial associations and a title of sovereignty. Sancar recalls the Great Seljuk ruler Sultan Sanjar, known in Turkish as Sencer; Sancar and Sencer are different renderings of the historical name. The compound itself should not be treated as that ruler’s recorded personal name.
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 →
