Jashan
Meaning of Jashan
Jashan is a male name of Persian origin, derived from the word “jashn,” which means “celebration” or “festival.” Pronounced juh-SHAN (/dʒəˈʃæn/), it carries a resonance that has found particular favor in Punjabi-speaking communities as an emblem of joy and triumph. In the United States, its popularity has followed a measured rhythm over the past forty years: after ranking 692nd with just five newborns in 1985, it dipped into the 800s and 900s before settling at 908th place with 16 occurrences in 2024. This pattern suggests a name both distinctive and resilient—neither clamoring for the spotlight nor fading into obscurity, much like a quiet festival in a world of grand spectacles. With its blend of cultural heritage and contemporary subtlety, Jashan offers parents a choice that feels at once celebratory and enduring.
