Basic Information:[edit | edit source]
Mongol name in OSCAR sn Saikhan Saran:
The Mongols by Catriona Mcpherson (Compleat Anachronist no. 54) states that the second element of most Mongol names is an epithet related to the first name or to personal characteristics or clan identification. Saikhan meaning 'beautiful, pretty' is found in "Mongolian Naming Practices" by Marta as tu Mika-Mysliwy, in the section titled 'Epithets and Modifiers from Other Sources'. It is also found (used as a single-element masculine name) on a website titled "The Story of Shan Yu - The Blue Wolf of Mongolia" (@http://dragonfly.cox.miami.edu/Tian/huns.html). The website mentions a date of 462.
Ursula Georges:
There's a man named <Sayiqan T{o"}de'en> in Igor de Rachewiltz' translation of The Secret History of the Mongols (Leiden: Brill, 2004); the note (p. 602) says that he is mentioned in other period sources about the Mongols, where he is given the rank of emir (Mongol noyan). Since Mongol can also be transliterated <kh>, it's possible that <Sayiqan> and <Saikhan> are the same name.
