Caner & Kutadgu
What does the name Caner (m) mean? The person who has it is Turkish.Acoording to him:"Can+er - Can is a Persian word, meaning life or soul or similar with these. Many Turkish male names end or start with -er. And you can find -can in almost 60% of boys names."& also Kutadgu (described by him as "pure Turkish").Thanks!
