The name Vihaan has its roots in Sanskrit. It means morning, dawn, or the first rays of the sun. The name symbolises a fresh start, hope, and the journey from darkness to light. It represents positivity, renewal and a bright beginning.

In Indian culture, the early morning hours are considered sacred and pure, associated with prayer, meditation and new beginnings. Because of this, the name Vihaan is also linked to peace, clarity, inner strength and spiritual energy. Light, in Indian philosophy, stands for awareness, hope and divine grace, and the name reflects all these values.
