Githan is a South Asian given name, mainly masculine, viewed as a spelling variant of Geethan, which derives from Sanskrit gīta “song; sung.” Through Tamil and Malayalam usage (and in Sinhala), the name carries associations of melody, poetry, and devotional hymns, making its sense “the songful one” or “he of song.” English pronunciations vary - often GEE-than - while in Dravidian phonology the t/dental th is soft and unaspirated.

As a modern personal name, Githan gained currency in Sri Lanka and South India in the late 20th century, part of a trend of names built on classical roots like geet/geeth. Families with artistic or devotional leanings may select it to echo the Bhagavad Gītā or Carnatic traditions.
