About the name Vihaan

Vihaan arrived almost from nowhere in the 2010s and now trades places with Aarav at the top of Indian baby name lists year after year. Parents like that it means the beginning of the day and that it belongs to no god, no epic and no grandfather, making it entirely the child's own.

Vihaan is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced vih-HAHN. On the NameRarity scale it scores 73 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 2020s.
