Toshan meaning
Toshan (तोषण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, तो, it is a Vrishchik rashi name (Vishakha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Satisfying, gratifying, pleasing
Toshan (तोषण) is Sanskrit toṣaṇa, from the root tuṣ, "to be content". Monier-Williams gives the adjective as "satisfying, gratifying, appeasing, pleasing", citing the Mahābhārata and the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, and as a neuter noun the act of satisfying or delighting someone. The related word toṣa means satisfaction or joy, and santoṣa, contentment, comes from the same root. Indian name lists give Toshan as "satisfaction" or "contentment", which follows the dictionary closely. It is a boy's name, and Toshani is the related girl's name.
