Kaan

Kaan is a Turkish personal name connected with Kağan, a title for a ruler or king. The title belongs to the historical world of Turkic and Mongol states, and is related to the form English speakers usually encounter as khan. Its use as a given name carries that older title into ordinary family naming.

Kaan and Kağan are closely related spellings, but the four-letter form has become an established name in its own right. The doubled a is part of the Turkish spelling rather than an added decorative letter. For families choosing it, the historical significance lies in its connection to rulership and Turkish language traditions.
