Arhaan is a modern name used by Indian and Pakistani families; its origin is uncertain, and it is usually explained as "ruler" or "emperor", a reading found in name books rather than in classical Arabic. The double-a spelling is typical of South Asian transliteration, as in Ayaan and Armaan. In the United States Arhaan peaked at number 2,387 in 2018 and ranks number 2,721 among boys in 2025, with 47 births.
