Sage-like, good, strong
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Rishaan (ऋषान) is a modern boys' name ending in -aan. It is not found in the Sanskrit dictionaries. Most name lists connect it with ṛṣi, the Sanskrit word for a sage, the inspired seers who composed the hymns of the Ṛgveda, and so explain it as "sage-like" or "wise". Other sites give quite different meanings, from "good" to "ray of the sun", which shows that no settled meaning exists yet. We show the likely root rather than a confirmed meaning.
