Sahen is a modern South Asian given name with layered etymology.

Usage is documented in India, Sri Lanka, and the global diaspora from the late 20th century onward, typically male but sometimes unisex. Parents often favor the form Sahen for its concise spelling while retaining the resonances of Shaheen/Shahin. Related variants include Sahan (Sinhala), Shaheen (Urdu/Arabic), Shahin (Persian), Şahin (Turkish), and Sahin (diaspora orthography). Thematically allied choices are Shaan and Sohan. Together these strands give Sahen an appealing blend of “falcon-like” brilliance and resilient calm.
