History & Origin
Ladan is a Persian flower-name, naming the laburnum or a similar sweet flowering plant, part of the long Iranian tradition of giving daughters the names of blossoms. Gentle and fragrant in association, it has a settled place in Persian naming and appears in American records chiefly among Iranian families keeping their language and heritage. We render it in plain letters and present its meaning with care.
In the United States it was always rare, reaching about fifteen girls a year at its high point around 2001 and appearing from the late nineteen-seventies into the twenty-twenties as Iranian immigration grew. A Ladan from that peak is now in her twenties, and the name reads as a lovely heritage flower-name rather than a mainstream American choice.
