What does Seyithan mean?
Master and khan; noble ruler
In Turkish: efendi ve han; soylu yönetici
Seyithan combines two elements associated with respect and rank. Seyit also has a specific historical use for descendants of Muhammad, while han is a ruling title. Their presence in a given name does not establish anything about a bearer's ancestry or social standing.
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 →
