Mohan

Meaning of Mohan

Mohan whispers of ancient Sanskrit poetry, meaning “the charming one” or “enchanter,” and stands among the many beloved names of Lord Krishna. It rolls off the tongue as MO-hahn in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, shifts ever so slightly to MO-han in Hindi, and softens to MO-hon in Bengali—giving it a familiar yet delightfully exotic flair. In the United States, Mohan sparkles just shy of mainstream fame, popping in and out of SSA charts with around a dozen newborns each year—a quiet superpower, standing out without trying too hard. The name evokes a sunlit riverbank at dawn, where legend meets everyday life, suggesting a child who brings warmth, charisma and a dash of mystery into every room. For parents seeking a choice that bridges rich cultural heritage with a gentle, cosmopolitan charm, Mohan is an inspired pick, ready to enchant from the very first hello.
