Tatar khan, Tatar ruler
In Turkish: Tatar hanı, Tatar hükümdarı
Tatarhan combines a historical community name with a title of rulership. Han occurs independently and as the final element of compound Turkish names. This structure evokes historical political vocabulary, but it does not identify a particular ruler or establish the ancestry of anyone who bears the 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 →
