Rihan

Rihan is a feminine name in Turkish and Iranian, whose roots spread deep into Arabic. Rihan is a short form of Rihana, which stems from Raihana, meaning “sweet basil”—an apt title for your fragrant little sapling. In Japanese, Rihan is a boy’s name with endearments like “companion,” “carp,” “sail,” and “plum,” embodying friendship and nautical adventure. The plum blossom is sacred in Japanese culture, symbolizing prosperity, good fortune, and the arrival of spring. No matter its gender, Rihan suits the sproutling planting their roots and preparing to soak up the sunlight.
