Soykan
Turkish surname
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soykan is a Turkish surname[1] and male given name[2][3] formed by the combination of the Turkish words soy ("strain; race, lineage, ancestry") and kan ("blood"). kan could possibly be a corruption of han ("khan, ruler") which would make the meaning "noble ruler". Notable people with the name include:
- Ebru Soykan (1981–2009), Turkish civil rights activist
- Ömer Naci Soykan (1945–2017), Turkish philosopher
- Pınar Soykan (born 1980), Turkish singer
