Azaan
Boy name · 88 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Azaan: 88 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 9 births in 2011.
A vibrant name with deep spiritual roots, Azaan is the Arabic word for the Islamic call to prayer, beautifully translating as "call" or "announcement." This meaning gives the name a profound and resonant quality within Muslim communities. While not a common name in historical record in the same way as many Scottish names, its rising popularity reflects Scotland's growing multicultural tapestry. The name shares its linguistic root with words for "listen" and "permission" in Semitic languages. A notable variant is the more phonetic spelling, Adhan, which directly references the call itself. For parents seeking a name that is both melodious and deeply meaningful, Azaan offers a distinctive, spiritually charged choice.
