What is the meaning of the name Amlan ?

The baby name Amlan is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AM-lahn (IPA: /ˈæm.lən/).

Amlan is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Amlan is a masculine given name of Sanskrit origin, from amlāna (अम्लान). The a- privative plus mlan yields the sense “unfading,” “ever-fresh,” “unwithered,” extending to connotations of purity, unblemished reputation, and enduring beauty.

Attested as a poetic adjective in classical Sanskrit and later devotional literature, amlāna describes flowers that never fade and steadfast virtue. As a modern given name, Amlan gained currency across eastern India - especially Bengal, Assam, and Odisha - from the late 19th century onward and is now used across Hindi- and Bengali-speaking communities. Common spellings and variants include Amlan (standard), Amlaan (to mark the long ā), and Amlana (Sanskrit nominative stem); in Bengali and Assamese it appears as অম্লান. Related feminine forms are rare, though Amlana can be adapted. The name evokes freshness, resilience, and a calm, enduring glow.
