History & Origin

Mihan comes from the Persian word for 'homeland; native land'. Persian naming has a long tradition of drawing on words of place, light and virtue, and Mihan belongs to that current: it speaks of roots and belonging, and it carries particular warmth in families far from home. Soft, two-beat and easy to say (said 'mee-HAHN').

It appears rarely in the U.S., mostly in Iranian families. Rare, rooted, and warm.

Did you know? Mihan is the Persian word for homeland — the land one comes from — and as a name it hands a child a sense of belonging rather than a trait (said 'mee-HAHN').
