Aahan

Aahan is a masculine given name of South Asian origin. In contemporary usage, the name is commonly associated with dawn or morning light, and many speakers interpret it as symbolizing new beginnings and brightness. The exact etymology is variable, drawing on Sanskrit and related languages, and transliteration differences produce spellings such as Aahan and Ahaan. Because there is no single canonical meaning, interpretations can differ by language and family tradition.

Aahan is used mainly in India, Nepal, and among the South Asian diaspora. It appears across several languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, and Kannada, with pronunciation adapted to local phonology. The name tends to be chosen for its positive associations rather than a fixed definition, and it is used by people of diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.

Variants of the name include Ahaan and Ahan, which share the same root and similar associations with light and beginnings. The form Aahan is also encountered in contemporary naming practices and, less commonly, in fictional or brand-name contexts.
