What is the meaning of the name Azaan ?

The baby name Azaan is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /əˈzɑːn/ (uh-ZAHN).

Azaan is Arabic in Origin.

Azaan is a masculine given name of Arabic origin, drawn from adhan, the Islamic call to prayer. The term means "announcement" or "proclamation," and comes from a root conveying hearing, permission, and making something known. In Urdu and Persian settings the Arabic dh sound is often rendered as z, yielding the common South Asian spelling Azaan.

While the adhan has been central to Muslim life since the 7th century, its use as a personal name is comparatively modern, gaining popularity across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, the Gulf states, and among diaspora families as a devotional, time-anchored name for boys. Established variants include Azan/Azaan, Adhan/Adhaan, and Athan in English-speaking settings; all share the same meaning and religious resonance. Note that Azzan (double z) is also a separate Hebrew-Bible name and is etymologically distinct.
