What does Tayyarcan mean?

Flying soul; spirit associated with flight

In Turkish: uçan can; uçuşla ilişkilendirilen ruh

Tayyarcan combines the imagery of flight in Tayyar with the associations of life and soul carried by can. Since can also appears in affectionate Turkish address, it can add a tone of closeness. Both elements occur independently as names; the compound is not necessarily a fixed historical title or religious term.
