History & Origin

Srihan is a contemporary Indian formation on shri, the Sanskrit word for prosperity, grace and auspiciousness that begins so many classical names. Its ending is a modern flourish rather than an inherited element, so we note that routes are uncertain. Smooth, auspicious-sounding, and current (said 'SREE-hun').

In the U.S. it appears only rarely, carried by Indian-American families. Rare, modern, and Sanskrit-flavoured.

Did you know? The shri that opens Srihan is the same auspicious word that opens Srihari and Sriram — grace, prosperity, good fortune. The name's second half is modern, and its routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'SREE-hun').
