What is the meaning of the name Sadan ?

The baby name Sadan is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SAH-dahn (approx. /ˈsɑːdɑːn/).

Sadan is Arabic, Hindi, Persian, Sanskrit, Turkish in Origin.

Used across several languages, Sadan has two credible etymologies. In Persian (Shadan, شادان) and Turkish (Şadan), it stems from Persian shad "joy, happiness," yielding the sense "cheerful" or "merry." In Indo-Aryan contexts it reflects Sanskrit sadana (सदन) "dwelling, abode, seat," from the root sad "to sit, settle," hence "home" or "place of rest." The name is unisex, with usage patterns varying by region.

As a given name it appears in Iran and Turkey (often as Shadan/Şadan) from the 20th century onward, and more sporadically in South Asia as Sadan, influenced by literary Sanskrit and the common Hindi noun sadan "house." Rarely, Modern Hebrew sadan means "anvil," though this is chiefly a surname rather than a given name. Variants and related forms include Shadan, Şadan, Sadana, and compound names like Sadananda. Meanings cluster around "joyful" or "of the abode/home."
