Bauyrzhan (Kazakh: Бауыржан) is a Kazakh given name used in Muslim families.[1] The name has two parts: the first, Bauyr, a traditional Kazakh word meaning brother or relative; the second, jan/jaan, a Persian and Urdu word meaning soul or dear.
The name Bauyrjan is sometimes spelled by Russian-speaking peoples in Central Asia as Bauyrzhan, since the closest equivalent of the j sound in Russian is spelled as zh.
