Kabardian origin
Source-reportedFrom West Circassian Хъанджэрый (Ꭓandžɛrəj) or East Circassian Хъанджэрий (Ꭓandžɛrij). Historically derived from the Turkic/Mongolic title Khan and the Crimean Tatar dynastic name Giray, which was heavily assimilated into Circassian nobility. Although it is a Turkic origin name, it is unique to Circassians within this specific cultural context and came to Turkey from Circassia.
