Around the globe, شاهان (Sahan 
, Shahan , شاهان 
) is a common largely boy's, but uncommonly female given name. The given name شاهان is habitual in Sri Lanka, where it is quite a common boy's name, Qatar, where it is quite a rare masculine name, and United Arab Emirates. Measured by absolute frequency, it is the most numerous in Southern Asia, particularly India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. Much less frequently, شاهان is the last name as well as the forename.
