Rohan Origin and Meaning

The name Rohan is a girl's name of Irish, Hindi origin meaning "rowan tree, little redhead; ascension; horse country".

Rohan is an Indian (masculine) name derived from Sanskrit and meaning "ascension", however, it is one of those names with cross-cultural possibilities. It can also be a spelling variation of Rowan or Ruadhán and a variation of the Arabic name Ruhan.

Lord of the Rings fans may associate it with the place name in the novels, which means "horse country" in Tolkien's invented language, Sindarin.
