Rohan (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rohan is both a given name and a surname. It has multiple origins, including Persian, Indian, Irish and Scottish Gaelic, and Japanese.[citation needed]

In Persian, Rohan means good character and piousness.[citation needed] In Sanskrit and Urdu, it means "ascending" or "ascent." It is also the name of Sri Vishnu.[citation needed] In Arabic, it means "spiritual."[citation needed] In Gaelic, Rohan is a variant of the name Rowan, which can mean red, red-haired, or rusty.[citation needed] In Japanese, it is an uncommon name, meaning "accompanying dew" and may be given either as a nom-de-plume or to a fictional character.[citation needed]

The later European surname is derived from Rohan, a commune in the Brittany region of France.[citation needed]
