What does Temürhan mean?
A ruler as strong as iron
In Turkish: demir gibi güçlü hükümdar
Temürhan brings together the solidity of iron and a title of rulership. The form temür is significant in historical Turkic texts and personal names and is related to Timur through the same word; the compound does not necessarily refer directly to the historical ruler Timur.
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 →
