Hakan is a common Turkish forename. The name is produced by using two Turkish titles for rulers: Han (Khan) and Kağan (Khagan). Therefore, by joining Han and Kağan, a new title which is higher than Kağan is achieved: Han Kağan. It has transformed into Hakan over time. It also means means han of the hans i.e. king of kings, the highest ruler. The name is also spelled Khakan or Khaqan in other parts of the world, with the same etymology.
