What is the meaning of the name Sachan ?

Sachan is Indian in Origin.

Sachan is a cross‑cultural given name and surname with two main lineages. In South Asia, it appears primarily as a North Indian family name - especially in Uttar Pradesh - now sometimes adopted as a unisex first name. Its sense is often linked to Hindi/Urdu sach “truth,” yielding readings like “truthful” or “of truth,” and it also overlaps with the boys’ name Sachin in modern usage. In Japan, Sachan functions as an affectionate nickname formed by adding the diminutive suffix ‑chan to Sachi or Sachiko; in that lineage, meaning derives from the kanji for Sachi, commonly “happiness,” “good fortune,” or “blessing” (e.g., 幸, 祥).

As a given name, Sachan has sporadic contemporary use in the Indian diaspora and appears informally in Japan for girls named Sachi/Sachiko. Related forms and variants include Sachi, Sachiko, Sacchan (alternate romanization of the nickname), Sachin, and Sachit; short forms may be Sach or Sachi.
