Yazan
Boy name · 21 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Yazan: 21 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 6 births in 2025.
Originally an Arabic name, Yazan stems from the root *y-z-n* and is most commonly associated with the ancient Himyarite kingdom in Yemen, where it was used as a title or name for rulers, evoking strength and nobility. One of the most famous bearers is Yazan al-Batal, a young Syrian boy who became a symbol of resilience during the conflict. While not widely used in Scotland, the name has gained quiet international recognition in recent years. A notable variant is Yazin, though Yazan remains the more standard form. The name does not have direct Scottish place connections, but its rich history and melodic sound make it a distinctive choice for modern families seeking a name with deep cultural heritage.
