Shan

Shan is a gender-neutral baby name with Arabic and Hebrew origins. Derived from the Welsh name Siân and the English name Jane, you’ll find Shan is actually connected to the Hebrew name John, meaning “God is gracious.” While this name is perfect for baby growing up in a religious home, its Arabic association will also be admired with the variant Zeshan, meaning “high status,” “splendor,” “noble,” “admirable,” or “praiseworthy.” Whether baby is grows up to be a leader of their community or needs a little reminder of their faith from time to time, a name like Shan will not lead baby astray.
