Boy
Özkan
Özkan is a familiar Turkish boy’s name whose meaning connects it to family roots and shared ancestry.
Meaning
Özkan is generally understood to mean someone of one’s own lineage. Its two elements bring together the idea of one’s own family and descent.
Origin
The name is Turkish, combining öz, meaning own or self, with kan, literally blood and used here to mean lineage.
In recent years
Long among the most chosen names, Özkan appeared in earlier top-hundred lists fifteen times, reaching a highest position of fifty-second. It is absent from the latest official top hundred but remains a recognised classic of earlier generations.
How does it look on a plaque?
