[Facts] Re: Amet-Khan Sultan
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
Amet-khan Sultan's name is a combination of two elements: "Amet" and "khan." In Turkic cultures, "Amet" is a given name, while "khan" is a title meaning "leader" or "ruler." Therefore, "Amet-khan" is not a double first name but rather a single given name incorporating a title. This naming convention is common in Turkic and Mongolic cultures, where titles are sometimes used as part of personal names. Since the name Amet is listed as Crimean Tatar on the site, the name Amet-khan should also be Crimean Tatar.
