Expected, full moon
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Ehan is a short modern name used by Indian families. It is not found in the Sanskrit dictionaries, and its popular meanings vary. Hindu name lists most often give "expected" or "full moon", while the spelling Ehaan also appears on Muslim name lists as an Arabic name for the full moon. One possible Sanskrit link is īhā, which Monier-Williams gives as effort, desire or wish, a sense close to "expected", but no source ties the name to that word. Families mostly choose Ehan for its soft sound and its ease in both Indian languages and English.
