What is the meaning of the name Jashan ?

The baby name Jashan is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒɑː.ʃɑːn/ — "JAH-shahn".

Jashan is Persian in Origin.

Jashan is a Punjabi and broader South Asian given name meaning "celebration," "thanksgiving," or "worship." It comes via Punjabi and Hindi-Urdu from Persian jashn "festival," ultimately related to Avestan yasna "worship, rite," and cognate with Sanskrit yajna. The name therefore conveys joyful ceremony and reverence, evoking communal festivity as well as devotion.

As a personal name, Jashan gained prominence among Sikh families in the later 20th century and is used for all genders, though more often for boys; it appears across India and in the Sikh and Punjabi diaspora (Canada, UK, US). Variant spellings include Jashen; the related Urdu/Persian noun form is Jashn. Common Sikh compound names include Jashandeep ("lamp of celebration") and Jashanpreet ("love of celebration/Divine praise"). The name's celebratory aura makes it popular for children born on festive dates or after family milestones.
