Light of the king or royal light
Norhan is a modern Arabic name typically interpreted as a compound of 'Nur' meaning light and 'Han' which is a title for a ruler or king. It conveys a sense of luminous royalty or a guiding light. While popular in Egypt and parts of the Middle East, it remains a rare and distinctive choice in the United States.
