What does Uğurcan mean?

A fortunate soul; an auspicious life

In Turkish: uğurlu can, iyilik getiren yaşam

Uğurcan joins the idea of good fortune with life or soul. Because can also occurs in affectionate Turkish forms of address, it adds warmth to the compound. Uğur and Can are independently used names; the combined meaning does not predict events in a bearer's life.
