Aahan is a masculine name of Sanskrit origin, deriving from the word āhāna, signifying “dawn” or “first ray of light.” Pronounced AH-hahn (/ɑːhɑn/) in Hindi, this name invokes notions of emergence and clarity within its native linguistic tradition. U.S. Social Security Administration data trace Aahan’s entry into American birth records to 2005, with its highest count of 46 newborns in 2018 and a steady ranking between 864 and 906 over the past decade. Such stability points to a measured, niche adoption by parents who favor a name with precise etymology, unambiguous phonetics, and a modest yet enduring profile in contemporary naming trends.
