📖 About Gökhan
Gökhan is a Turkish masculine given name composed of 'gök' (sky, heaven) and 'han' (ruler, lord), meaning 'heavenly sovereign' or 'ruler of the sky.' It reflects ancient Turkic reverence for the sky as a divine force (Tengri) and the nobility of the 'han' title, borne by khans across the Eurasian steppe. Gökhan has been consistently popular in Turkey throughout the 20th and 21st centuries and is also common in the Turkish diaspora communities of Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia.
