Meaning & origin
Shrihan entered U.S. birth records in 2005 and reached its peak popularity in 2015. Since 2014, its usage has been declining. In the most recent year of data (2025), it ranked 7,679th, with approximately 1 in 170,808 boys receiving the name. The name has not been recorded in any top state lists, indicating its spread is broad but thin. As a modern coinage rooted in Sanskrit, Shrihan reflects a trend among Indian-American families towards names that are both culturally meaningful and phonetically accessible in English. Its trajectory suggests it remains a distinctive choice in a landscape of increasingly diverse naming practices.
Shrihan appears to be a modern coinage, possibly derived from the Sanskrit root 'shri' meaning 'prosperity', 'beauty', or 'radiance', combined with a common suffix. It is not an established classical name and has risen in use among Hindu families in India and the diaspora since the early 2000s.
