Izhaan is Arabic in Origin.

Izhaan is a modern masculine given name of Arabic origin, drawn from the noun إذعان (idh‘ān), from the root ذ-ع-ن (dh-ʿ-n), signifying “obedience,” “submission,” or “assent.” In Islamic usage it can suggest willing compliance before God and attentive receptiveness. As a lexical name rather than a theophoric one, it carries a contemplative, virtuous tone.

Documented as a personal name chiefly in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Izhaan is used across Arabic- and Urdu-speaking communities and has spread widely through the South Asian diaspora; its profile rose publicly after the 2018 birth of sports couple Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik’s son. Common variants reflect transliteration choices: Izaan, Iz’aan, Idh’aan/Idhaan; short forms include Zaan and Izzy. The spelling Izan sometimes appears alongside it in databases, though in Basque Izan is an unrelated name meaning “to be.”
