Subhaan

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Subhaan: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2002.

Subhaan is an Arabic name meaning "glory" or "praise," derived from the root word *subhan*, often used in the Islamic phrase "Subhan Allah" (Glory be to God). It appears as a variant of Subhan and has been given to boys in Scotland since the early 2000s, reflecting the country's growing multicultural diversity. While no famous bearers are widely known in the West, the name is common across South Asia and the Middle East; a notable example is Subhaan Khan, an Indian television actor. There are no direct place connections, though the name shares its root with the Arabic word for "praise." A further note: spelling variations like Subhan or Subhaan are equally popular, and the name has risen steadily in Scottish baby name charts alongside other names of Islamic origin.
