Kishan: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1994.
Kishan is a name of Sanskrit origin, a variant of Krishna, meaning "dark" or "attractive." Rooted in Hindu tradition, Krishna is a major deity revered for his wisdom and charm, giving the name a deeply spiritual resonance. Famous bearers include Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan, known for his explosive batting, and the acclaimed Hindi writer Kishan Chander. While no major places are named directly after the name, the city of Kishangarh in India shares a similar root. A notable variant is Krishna itself, widely used across South Asia and the diaspora. In Scotland, Kishan has appeared occasionally since the late 20th century, reflecting the country's growing cultural diversity and the appeal of names with rich mythological backgrounds.
