Gökhan () is a Turkish forename meaning "ruler of the sky" related to Tengrism. The stem of the name comes from "gök" ('sky') and ''han'', a title held by hereditary rulers and tribal chiefs among Altaic-speaking peoples. Most likely, the first appearance of the name Gökhan is as one of the six sons of Oghuz Khagan, the legendary ruler of the Oghuz.
