Rihaan
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Rihaan: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2023.
Rihaan originates from Arabic, derived from Rayhan, meaning "fragrant basil" or "sweet scent" – a name often linked to paradise in Islamic tradition. While not widely associated with historical figures, it has been borne by contemporary athletes such as Iranian footballer Rihan Akbar. The name lacks direct place connections, though its root word 'rayhan' appears in the Quran, lending spiritual depth. In Scotland, Rihaan has grown in popularity among Muslim families, reflecting the nation's diverse cultural heritage. It is a variant of Rayhan, and despite its phonetic similarity to Rihanna, the two names have distinct origins and meanings.
