Kahaan meaning
Kahaan (कहान) is a Hindu boy's name of Gujarati origin.
Krishna
Also used to mean: lord krishna, world
Kahaan (कहान, Gujarati કહાન) is the Gujarati folk name for Krishna. The Gujarati dictionary lists kahān, with the longer form kahāno, simply as Krishna: an affectionate, everyday way of naming the god, much as Hindi uses Kanha and Kanhaiya. Name lists agree on the Krishna meaning. A few also give "world" or "universe", which we could not trace to any dictionary. The spelling with a double a is a modern one, and the name is used for boys in Gujarati families.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Krishna.
