An
Meaning of An
An is proof that a single syllable can carry a world’s worth of calm. In Vietnamese and several Chinese languages, An (安) gently means “peace” or “safe,” and that serene vibe has followed it wherever it travels. English speakers tend to pronounce it just like the word “an,” making it instantly familiar yet quietly distinctive—much like a whispered lullaby in a bustling room. Unisex by nature, An has slipped onto American birth certificates for decades, never shouting for attention but always showing up, a steady heartbeat around the 900 range in the national charts. Parents who pick An often say they love its clean lines, global passport, and the way it leaves space for a child’s own story to unfold. Short, sweet, and infused with the promise of tranquility, An feels less like a name and more like a gentle blessing tucked into everyday conversation.
