Jahan (Persian: جهان, Urdu: جہاں, Bengali: জাহান) is a word of Persian origin meaning "world" or "universe". It is used as first name or surname in the Middle East, Central and South Asia. The Turkish rendering of the same name is Cihan.

Along with Jehan, it is also a variant and ancient form of French name and surname Jean. The surnames Jahan and Jehan have been most prevalent in northwestern France (e.g. Normandy, Brittany, Touraine).[1][2]
