What is Khairena?
1.
The name means "the lions" in Persian, although it is most likely to be an adaptation of the former Greek name of Khairena adopted after the Turkish settlement in the region after and possibly even slightly before the Battle of Manzikert. It is also possible that Khairena was an adaptation of a Persian name in this region that had remained under Persian influence for millennia.
