Meaning & History
Allegedly from Ottoman Turkish باباجان (babacan) meaning "good-natured, pleasant, fatherly", itself from Turkish baba meaning "father" and Persian جان (jān) meaning "soul, life, darling". This given name has fallen out of use and now only survives in the patronymic surname Babajanyan.
