What is the meaning of the name Huan ?

The baby name Huan is a boy name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced khwahn.

Huan is Chinese in Origin.

Huan is a pinyin romanization of Mandarin huān, most directly represented by the character 歡/欢. The traditional graph 歡 is the older written form, simplified in mainland China as 欢; in its structure, 欠 supplies a semantic element connected with breath or an open mouth, while 雚 functions phonetically. As a name element, it carries the literal sense happy, pleased, or joyful, though Chinese given names may use other characters also read huān or huán.

In Chinese naming, Huan can serve as either a full given-name syllable or one part of a two-character name, with meaning determined by the chosen character rather than sound alone. The form entered English-language records chiefly through pinyin after the mid-twentieth century. Related romanizations include tone-marked Huān and the Sino-Vietnamese cognate Hoan. In the United States it remains uncommon and is borne by both sexes, with census data showing more male bearers.
