Globally, Elihan (Алихан 
, Элихан , Elihan 
) is quite a common masculine forename. The given name Elihan is characteristic of Azerbaijan, where it is quite a common principally masculine, but scarcely girly name, Kazakhstan, where it is quite a common boy's name, and Kyrgyzstan, where it is quite a rare boy's name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Russia. Much less frequently, Elihan is the last name as well as the forename.
