What is the meaning of the name Rojhan ?

The baby name Rojhan is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ROJ-hahn (approx. /ˈrɒdʒ.hæn/ or Kurdish/Persian-like /roʒˈhɑːn/).

Rojhan is Persian in Origin.

Rojhan is an Iranian-language given name most associated with Kurdish and Balochi usage, built on the Kurdish root roj, meaning “day” or “sun.” In Kurdish orthography, j represents the “zh” sound, so Rojhan approximates Rozhân and aligns semantically with Persian roshan (“bright, luminous”), a cognate across the Iranian language family. The name is typically interpreted as “sunlit,” “daylight,” or “brightness.”

It occurs widely in Kurdish communities across Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, with notable growth from the late 20th century as “roj-” names became markers of cultural identity. In southwestern Pakistan, Rojhan also appears via the toponym Rojhan (Mazari), sometimes functioning as a toponymic surname that migrates into given-name use. The name is unisex, leaning masculine in some regions. Variants and related forms include Rojan/Rozhan (“daylight”), Rojîn/Rojin (feminine, “sunny”), Roshan (Persian/Hindi cognate), and spellings Rojhân/Rojhaan. The core meaning centers on light, day, and hope.
