Arkan

Meaning of Arkan

Arkan, a masculine appellation of Arabic provenance derived from the plural of rukn (أركان), signifying “pillars” or “foundations,” has historically been invoked in theological and philosophical treatises to delineate the essential structural elements of moral and societal frameworks, thereby imbuing the name with connotations of strength, stability, and foundational principle. Rendered in English as ahr-KAHN (/ɑrˈkɑn/), it has exhibited modest but consistent growth within the United States, with Social Security Administration data recording eleven occurrences (ranked 898th) in 2012 and thirty-one (893rd) in 2024, alongside minor oscillations in intervening years, a trend indicative of its measured yet increasing resonance among newborn male individuals in contemporary Anglo-American naming conventions.
