What does Temizhan mean?
Pure khan; unblemished ruler
In Turkish: temiz han; arı hükümdar
Temizhan places an everyday adjective beside a historical title of rulership. Temiz can describe physical cleanliness as well as figurative freedom from blemish or dishonesty. Han appears in many compound names, but this combination alone does not identify a particular ruler or dynasty.
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 →
