Meaning & origin
Srihan is a modern Sanskrit-derived name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2004. Its popularity peaked in 2016, after which it entered a gradual decline; by 2025 it ranked 5,208 and was given to roughly 1 in 94,893 newborn boys. The name is most common in Texas, reflecting its popularity among Indian American communities. Srihan's construction follows a contemporary trend of blending auspicious Sanskrit roots into distinctive, modern-sounding names. While still relatively rare, its trajectory over the past decade shows a steady drop from its peak, suggesting it may remain a niche choice.
Srihan is a modern Indian name, likely a combination of the Sanskrit elements 'sri' (श्री), meaning 'prosperity' or 'auspiciousness', and 'han' (हन्), which can mean 'killing' or 'striking' but in name compounds often connotes 'leading' or 'victorious'. Alternatively, it may be a variant of 'Srihaan' or related to 'Srihan' as a diminutive. The name gained popularity in the United States from the 2000s onward, particularly among families of Indian origin.
