What is the meaning of the name Shabahang ?

The baby name Shabahang is a Unisex name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ʃæbɒːˈhɒːŋ/ (sha-bah-HANG).

Shabahang is Persian in Origin.

Shabahang is a Persian (Farsi) given name formed from shab “night” + āhang “melody, tune, rhythm,” yielding the evocative sense “night melody,” “nocturne,” or “song of the night.” It carries poetic overtones of quiet beauty and measured grace, echoing a longstanding Persian fondness for compound nature-and-time imagery in names.

While the elements are ancient in Persian, Shabahang functions as a modern given name in Iran and among the Persian‑speaking diaspora, used occasionally - more often for girls - alongside related compounds like Shabnam. Transliteration and spelling vary: Shabâhang (marking the long ā), Shab-Ahang, and the simplified Shabaheng all appear. The name also exists as a surname in some families. Rarity keeps it distinctive, yet its components are instantly intelligible to Persian speakers, making Shabahang a culturally rooted choice with lyrical meaning.
