Girl
Perihan
Perihan is traditionally understood as queen of the fairies and was a popular choice for girls for a time.
Meaning
Name sources commonly give Perihan the meaning queen of the fairies. This interpretation brings together fairy-tale imagery and the title of a queen.
Origin
The name is explained as combining the Persian word peri, meaning fairy, with the Turkish title han. Although often labelled Persian, this derivation suggests elements from both languages.
In recent years
Perihan was among the most chosen girls’ names for a time, appearing in eight earlier top-100 lists and reaching a best rank of 38. It does not appear in the latest official top-100 list.
How does it look on a plaque?
Perihan would look lovely on a floral Meşgalem name plaque with the baby's birth date just beneath it.
