Ladan is a Persian feminine name (pronounced lah-DAHN, /lɑˈdɑn/) that literally denotes a wildflower, evoking associations of natural beauty and grace. Deeply rooted in Iranian culture, it has nonetheless made occasional appearances in U.S. birth records since the late 1970s. Annual tallies have typically remained in the single digits, with Social Security rankings fluctuating between the mid-700s and mid-900s—most recently placing 941st with six registrations in 2021. This measured, understated presence underscores Ladan’s appeal to parents seeking a concise, culturally rich name that stands apart through its rarity and elegant simplicity.
