Bayhan is a masculine name in Turkish and wider Turkic usage, built from bay/bey, meaning “wealthy” or “noble gentleman,” and han/khan, the steppe title for a ruler or chieftain. The compound conveys senses such as “prosperous ruler,” “noble khan,” or “lord of wealth,” and reflects the prestige attached to leadership and prosperity in Turkic naming traditions. Its components go back to Old Turkic and spread across Central Eurasia with Turkic and Mongol polities.

The name appears in records from Ottoman Anatolia to Central Asia, where title-elements were often adopted as given names; in modern times it occurs in Turkey and among Turkic-speaking communities as both a given name and, less commonly, a surname. Noted variants and near-equivalents include Beyhan (Turkish; sometimes unisex, borne by Ottoman princesses titled Beyhan Sultan), Baykhan/Baikhan (Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Russian-influenced transliterations), and the related spelling with -khan in English contexts.
