Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Turecké mužské meno tradične rozkladané na or a han. Zložka han označuje chána, panovníka; pôvodný význam zložky or nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Slovníkový výklad „vládca mesta“ nemožno považovať za jednoznačne preukázanú historickú etymológiu. Status unknown sa týka úplného etymologického výkladu, nie tureckej tradície mena.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Význam „vládca mesta“: Kişi Adları Sözlüğü, reprodukovaný na Sözce. Neistota zložky or: Behind the Name. Význam titulu han: TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi. Historická tradícia: Halil İnalcık: ORHAN. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou všeobecných pravidiel Morfológie slovenského jazyka sprístupnenej JÚĽŠ SAV, nie citáciou osobitného hesla Orhan. Heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo overené. Štyri až sedem zaužívaných slovenských zdrobnenín sa nepodarilo doložiť, preto je pole prázdne. Medzinárodné podoby predstavujú zachovanie pôvodného zápisu, nie samostatné domáce ekvivalenty.
