Boy
Caner
Caner is a familiar Turkish boy’s name combining can, associated with life and affection, with er, meaning man.
Meaning
The name is commonly explained as a man as dear as life itself. Its two parts bring together can, associated with life and someone cherished, and er, meaning man.
Origin
Caner was formed in Turkish by joining can and er. The first element comes from Persian, while the second is Turkish.
In recent years
Caner was long among the most chosen boys’ names and remains familiar to parents from earlier generations. It is absent from the latest official top 100, but reached a best position of 18 in earlier lists.
How does it look on a plaque?
Caner would look lovely in simple lettering on a Meşgalem wooden name plaque, with the baby’s birth date tucked underneath.
