Zeeshan meaning
Zeeshan (ذیشان) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic–Persian origin (Urdu usage).
Conspicuous for dignity; of high rank and grandeur
Zeeshan (ذیشان), also spelled Zishan or Zeshan, is a compound used in Urdu and Persian. Its first part, zī, is the Arabic dhī, "possessing", and the second is shān, "dignity" or "grandeur"; together they describe someone possessed of dignity. Steingass's dictionary, which lists it under the prefix zī, gives zī-shān as "conspicuous for dignity". In Urdu the word is also used as an adjective for anything grand or of high standing. Name lists give Zeeshan as "dignified" or "of high rank", which matches the dictionary. It is given to boys, mainly in Muslim families.
