Ruzan is Armenian in Origin.

Ruzan (Armenian Ռուզան; also Rouzan/Roozan) is a feminine name used in Armenia and neighboring regions. Many sources link it to New Persian ruz, “day,” with the extended form ruzān meaning “daytime” or “bright as day,” so the name evokes light and renewal. Cognate Kurdish forms based on roj, “day/sun,” such as Rozan/Rojan, suggest a shared regional pattern of “daylight” names.

In Armenian records the name appears by the late 19th century and gained currency in the 20th century, including the diaspora. Variants include Ruzanna/Ruzhanna - often treated as an embellished form and sometimes connected with Roxana (from Old Persian Roshanak, “radiant”) - along with spellings Rozan and Rouzan. Informal diminutives like Ruzi occur. Ruzan remains familiar yet distinctive in contemporary use, prized for its succinct sound and luminous, optimistic meaning.
