Burhan (Arabic: برهان, Burhān) is an Arabic male name, an epithet of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.[1] It is especially popular in Turkey, as it respects Turkish vowel harmony and the end syllable "-han" can be interpreted as the Turkish variant of "Khan".

Origin[edit]

وَقَالُواْ لَن يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ مَن كَانَ هُوداً أَوْ نَصَارَى تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ قُلْ هَاتُواْ بُرْهَانَ‍كُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

English: And they say, "None will enter Heaven unless he is a Jew or a Christian." These are their wishes. Say, "Produce your proof, if you are truthful."
(Quran: 2:111)
