Jehan
I posted a few weeks ago about finding a middle name for Priya (pronounced Pree-a). Someone suggested the name Jehan meaning 'the world', which I thought was lovely. How do you pronounce this? Does anyone know where this name originated?

Jehan indeed means "world": Jehangir is a Turkish title meaning "conqueror of the world".
