Nirvaan is a modern Indian name taken from the Sanskrit nirvana, which means "liberation" or "bliss", the state of release from suffering in Hindu and Buddhist thought. The double a spelling is typical of names given in India in the 2000s and 2010s, like Vihaan and Ishaan. In the United States Nirvaan was too rare to be recorded in 2000; it reached number 2024 in 2024 and ranked number 2276 among boys in 2025.
