The turkish meaning of Serhan is “top leader” but the arabic meaning is “wolf”. I am confused if I should keep my baby boy’s name serhan or not. Originally I chose the name based on Turkish meaning. Any suggestion?

Hi, my search reveals that the name ‘Serhan’ is of turkish origin and means ‘top leader or king’ in turkish. However, quranicnames.com suggests that in arabic ‘Serhan’ means ‘wolf or lion’. I was thinking about naming my baby boy this and now I am confused. Since the name does not have a good meaning in Arabic, should I not keep it? Any suggestion? Thank you!

Serhan: Arabic has the same root language as all Semetic languages, therefore the letters meanings are as follows
S: Thorns, Protect
R: Head, Top, Beginning
A: Strong, Power, Leader
N: Seed, Heir, Son
You see how you get Leader, Wolf, Lion out of the letter meanings. It is of my opinion that the name refers to a LEADER WHO PROTECTS HIS FAMILY, soo the Alpha Wolf, The Lion King, The Mighty Protector.
Hope this helps…

UPDATED MEANING: I reviewed the spelling and concluded that the “H” should be included due to the relevancy of its meaning alongside the other letters.
Semetic languages, therefore the letters meanings are as follows
S: Thorns, Protect
R: Head, Top, Beginning
H: Look, Reveal, Breath
A: Strong, Power, Leader
N: Seed, Heir, Son
You see how you get Leader, Wolf, Lion out of the letter meanings. It is of my opinion that the name refers to a THE LEADER WITH POWERFUL BREATH PROTECTS HIS FAMILY, The Alpha Wolf Howls,
The Lion King Roars,
The Mighty Voice of The Watchful Leader
