Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Izaan: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2023.

Izaan is a name of Arabic origin, derived from _Ihsan_, meaning “perfection,” “excellence,” or “beneficence.” A bearer known for upholding these ideals is Izaan Khan, a young environmental activist from Pakistan who campaigns for climate justice and water conservation. While the name does not directly attach to a specific place, its root _Ihsan_ shares a conceptual link with the Islamic concept of doing good, and is sometimes reflected in the names of charitable foundations. A notable variant is Ehsan or Ahsan, which is more common in South Asia and the Middle East, while Izaan has gained growing popularity in Scotland since the early 2000s, reflecting the country’s increasing cultural diversity.
