Meaning today
Kind-hearted, heart
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Hridaan (हृदान) is a modern name with a Sanskrit sound. It is not found in the dictionaries. Name lists connect it with hṛd, the Sanskrit word for the heart, which Monier-Williams describes as the seat of feelings and emotions and also of thought; it is a cousin of Greek kardia and English heart. From that root, families read Hridaan as "kind-hearted" or simply "heart". The ending is not explained by any source, so we show the root rather than a confirmed meaning.
