Can (Turkish: [dʒan]) is a common Turkish, Azerbaijani and Circassian given name and surname, meaning spirit, life, soul or heart.
Turkish and Azerbaijani use is derived from the Persian word Jan (Persian: جان) and Circassian use is derived from Circassian word Janberk.
In Turkish, the name Can is pronounced similarly to the common English name John.
Džan is a variant in use in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
