Shaan
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Shaan: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2000.
Shaan draws from two distinct roots, each with its own charm. For Scottish and English speakers, it is a modern spelling variant of Sean or Shaun, the Irish and Scottish Gaelic form of John, ultimately from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning “God is gracious.” In India, Shaan is a unisex name meaning “peace” or “splendor” in Sanskrit. The most famous bearer is the acclaimed Indian playback singer Shaan, whose soulful voice has defined Bollywood hits for decades. While no major places are named directly after a Shaan, the name shares its Gaelic root with the River Shannon in Ireland. As a fresh twist on a classic, Shaan offers a multicultural feel that balances familiarity with a touch of global flair.
