Bardan is in Origin.

Bardan is a cross‑cultural masculine name with two chief etymologies. In South Asia it often maps to Vardan/Vardhan, from Sanskrit vardhana “growth, prosperity” or varadāna “boon, blessing,” yielding the meanings “prosperity” and “divine gift.” Spelling with B reflects the common v/b shift in modern Indo‑Aryan languages, and Bardaan/Bardan appear in Hindi–Urdu and Nepali contexts. In the Armenian sphere, it aligns with Vardan/Vartan, linked to Armenian vard “rose,” giving the poetic sense “of the rose.”

Use of Bardan is uncommon globally but occurs in Nepal, northern India, and among diasporas; the Armenian‑style forms are more frequent in the Caucasus and Middle East. Historical resonance comes via Saint Vardan Mamikonian (5th century), though his name is typically rendered Vardan/Vartan in English. Variants and related forms include Vardan, Vartan, Vardhan, Bardaan, and Bardhan; short forms may include Dan or Var.
