Girl
Neslihan
Neslihan is a familiar Turkish girls’ name whose meaning points to descent from a khan’s family.
Meaning
Neslihan is generally understood to mean descended from a khan, or ruler. Its two elements bring together the ideas of lineage and a ruling dynasty.
Origin
The name is a compound formed in Turkish. It combines nesil, an Arabic-derived word for generation or lineage, with han, the title used in Turkish for a khan or ruler.
In recent years
Long among the most frequently chosen names, Neslihan appeared in earlier top-hundred lists twenty-five times, reaching a best position of twenty-eighth. It is absent from the latest official top hundred but remains a recognised classic from earlier generations.
