Sargan is Persian in Origin.
Sargan is a rare masculine given name with Near Eastern roots, most plausibly a modern or Anglicized variant of Sargon, from Akkadian Sharru-kin meaning "the king is legitimate" or "true king." The name is borne by two prominent rulers: Sargon of Akkad (3rd millennium BCE), founder of the Akkadian Empire, and Sargon II of Assyria (8th century BCE). Through biblical and Assyrian records, the form persisted in Syriac Christian communities and sees occasional modern revival among Assyrians and admirers of ancient Mesopotamia.
Variants and related spellings include Sargon and Sharru-kin (also rendered Sharrukin), with regional forms in Syriac and Arabic. Sargan may reflect transliteration drift or attraction to the common Persian/Kurdish -an ending. Not to be confused with Punjabi Sargun (from Sanskrit saguna) or Hindi Sargam, which have different meanings. Overall, Sargan conveys a stately sense of rightful kingship.
Sargan is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 19 times, across 8 countries.
