Êzîdxan or Ezidkhan (Land of the Yazidis) is what Yazidis call the Mesopotamian region or Kurdistan that is now part of modern-day Iraq, Syria and Turkey. The term means a sacred place or homeland. In addition, there are Yazidi autonomy efforts in northern Iraq to establish their own autonomy called Êzîdxan.

Etymology

Êzîdxan (other spellings: Ezidkhan, Ezdikhan, Ezidchan, Ezidikhan, Ezidichan) consists of the two words "Êzîdî" (own designation of the Yazidis) and Xan or Khan (meaning: house) and it literally means the "House of the Yazidis". It is also translated as the "Land of the Yazidis". Furthermore, the term "Êzîdxan" refers to the community of Yazidis.

Settlement areas

The term "Êzîdxan" is also the designation of traditional and historical settlement areas of the Yazidis. The original main settlement areas of the Yazidis are in northern Mesopotamia, in today's northern Iraq, in northern Syria and in south-eastern Turkey.
