Can (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈdʒän]) is a common Turkish given name and surname, meaning spirit, life, or heart. It is derived from the Persian word Jan. In Turkish, the name Can is pronounced just like the common English name John.
Old English canne "a cup, container," from Proto-Germanic *kanna (source also of Old Saxon, Old Norse, Swedish kanna, Middle Dutch kanne, Dutch kan, Old High German channa, German Kanne). Probably an early borrowing from Late Latin canna "container, vessel," from Latin canna "reed," also "reed pipe, small boat;" but the sense evolution is difficult. Modern "air-tight vessel of tinned iron" is from 1867 (can-opener is from 1877). Slang meaning "toilet" is c. 1900, said to be a shortening of piss-can. Meaning "buttocks" is from c. 1910.
Means: soul, life in Turkish.
