Zohan is a name of uncertain origin, usually explained as a modern coinage that combines the Z of Zayn and Zion with the Indian Rohan, or as a variant of the Hebrew Zohar, "light" or "radiance". Most Americans first heard it in the 2008 Adam Sandler comedy You Don't Mess with the Zohan. The name has climbed steadily from number 8033 in 2015 to number 1601 in 2025, its best rank yet.
