Ever heard of "Girimkhanov"?

Maybe you came across a different spelling of our name and wondered: is that the dealership in Kleinjena? The answer is yes, that's us. Here's the story behind it.

Portrait of Telman Girimhanov, owner of Autohaus Kleinjena
One family name, three spellings

Owner Telman Girimhanov originally comes from Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani family names don't translate one to one into German. Depending on who translated the name for a form, a legal notice or a business card, several spellings emerged over the years, and all of them are correct.

Girimhanov How we spell it today
Girimkhanov Official company name in our legal notice
Girimchanov Another spelling you may come across

All three variants refer to the same family and the same business. That's why our legal notice officially reads "Autohandel Girimkhanov", while day to day we go by the Girimhanov family. Both are correct, both are us.
