Kholan is in Origin.

Kholan is a rare modern given name, most plausibly a transliteration of Arabic Khawlan/Khulan, the name of an ancient tribal confederation and region in present-day Yemen. In Arab genealogies it is linked to Khawlan ibn Amir, so the personal name functions much like a toponymic or ethnonym meaning "of the Khawlan." The precise lexical meaning of the root is uncertain, and many treat the term as a proper name rather than a word with a transparent gloss.

As a given name, Kholan sees limited but growing use, favored for its strong Kh- opening and desert-heritage aura. Documented variants and spellings include Khawlan, Khulan, Khowlan, and Kho'lan; Kolan and Holan appear as Anglicized look-alikes with separate origins. Note that Mongolian Khulan is an unrelated feminine name meaning "onager/wild ass," though its sound occasionally influences the English spelling.
