Metehan is a masculine Turkish given name.
Mete is the Turkish derivation of standard Chinese "Modu" "墨毒" (C*, the name of the Modun Chanyu, the founder of Xiongnu Empire. 冒顿 might have transcribed the Xiongnu title reconstructed as *baɣtur, linguistically related to the Turkic honorific title "Baghatur". Baghatur is also used as a masculine given name by Turkish people as Bahadır, Batur, and as in other cognate forms. "Han" is the Turkish derivative of "Khan" and is cognate with Hakan, a common masculine Turkish given name.
N.Ya. Bichurin notices many similarities between the two legends about Modun Chanyu, whose name is the basis of Metehan, and Oghuz Khan (Collection of information, pp. 56–57).
