Suhaan

Origin

Derived from South Asian languages, particularly Hindi and Urdu, where 'Suhaan' (सुहान) means 'handsome', 'beautiful', or 'good-looking'. It is a common masculine given name in India and Pakistan, with historical mentions in classical texts and poetry. The name has no native Aboriginal or Māori roots but has been adopted by some communities within Australia due to multicultural influences.
