Name meaning and origin
Amirjan is a compound name. It is formed from the word “əmir” (leader, ruler, commander) of Arabic origin and the word “can” (life, soul; dear) of Persian origin. According to one explanation, the “can” here is a shortened form of the word “candar” (bodyguard, guard), and the name means “the leader of the guards.”
The suffix "-can", of Persian origin, adds a shade of endearment and warmth to Azerbaijani names (Aycan, Gulcan). In the Middle Ages, əmircan was also used as a rank in the Azerbaijani army. The name does not appear in the Quran, but there is no obstacle to giving it from an Islamic standpoint.
