Yugan is a name of Indian origin, likely derived from the Sanskrit word 'yuga,' meaning 'age' or 'era.' In Hindu cosmology, a yuga is a vast epoch of time. The name may also be related to 'yog,' meaning 'union' or 'connection.' It is largely a modern coinage, used primarily in India and among the Indian diaspora, and has seen a rise in popularity since its first recorded use in the United States in 2015.
