Vihaan meaning
Vihaan (विहान) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Morning, dawn
Vihaan (विहान) is Sanskrit vihāna, which Monier-Williams lists as a masculine or neuter noun meaning "morning, dawn". MW marks the headword with a question mark and cites it only from the traditional lexicographers, not from a literary text, and Apte's dictionary has no entry, so the word is rare and its standing as a classical word is uncertain. Even so, the meaning matches the one on Indian name lists, which give Vihaan as dawn or morning, sometimes adding the first rays of the sun. The double a in the English spelling marks the long ā. It is a boy's name, and Vihan is a variant spelling.
