Verdhan

Verdhan is a male given name used in parts of the Indian subcontinent. It is a transliteration variant of the Sanskrit name Vardhan (also spelled Vardan or Vardhaman) and is associated with meanings such as increasing, growing, or prosperous. The root vardh- in Sanskrit conveys growth or augmentation, and the name is often interpreted as "the one who grows" or "one who brings prosperity."

In usage, Verdhan appears among Hindi-, Marathi-, and Nepali-speaking communities, among others. It is commonly used in contemporary naming and may appear in formal, informal, or literary contexts. Spelling variations reflect transliteration from Devanagari to the Latin script, with Vardhan and Vardan being common forms; Vardhaman is related and may be used in longer or religious contexts.

Related names and variants include Vardhan, Vardan, and Vardhaman, which share the same Sanskrit root and general meaning. The form Verdhan represents one of several possible transliterations of the same name across languages and regions.
