Lohan as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Lohan

What is the meaning of the name Lohan ?

The baby name Lohan is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LOH-hən (IPA: /ˈloʊ.hən/).

Lohan is Irish in Origin.

Lohan is a cross-cultural given name and surname with several independent roots. In Ireland it is an Anglicized family name from Gaelic Ó Leocháin, long established in Connacht; in the wider English-speaking world it has migrated to first-name use in recent decades via the surname-as-given-name trend, and is commonly treated as unisex.

Elsewhere, Lohan can draw on South Asian etymology from Sanskrit loha “iron,” reflected in community names such as Lohana and occupational surnames like Lohar; used as a given name, it conveys the idea of strength or “made of iron.” In a Buddhist/Chinese context, Luóhàn (罗汉/羅漢) - often rendered “Lohan” in older English - means “arhat,” an enlightened disciple of the Buddha, and occasionally serves as a personal name. Variants and related forms include Luohan/Lo-han, Loha, Lohana, and Irish Ó Leocháin; modern spellings such as Lohann or Lohaan also appear.
