Dhann is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Dhann is an Indic given name rooted in Sanskrit dhana, meaning "wealth, riches, prosperity." In Punjabi and Sikh usage, dhann also functions as an honorific meaning "blessed, worthy of praise," familiar from devotional phrases like "Dhan Guru." As a result, the name carries connotations of prosperity and auspicious blessing. The doubled -nn reflects gemination in Punjabi/Gurmukhi transliteration; Dhan is the more common spelling.
Dhann has been recorded across North India and in the South Asian diaspora since the late 20th century, used mainly for boys but sometimes unisex. It belongs to a broader Dhan- name family found in classical and modern sources, including Dhananjay (an epithet of Arjuna), Dhanraj ("king of wealth"), Dhanesh ("lord of wealth"), and Dhanveer ("brave and prosperous"). Related feminine forms include Dhanya ("fortunate, bountiful"). Short forms include Dhan; variant spellings: Dhan, Dhann.
