Rehan is a masculine name used in Arabic and Urdu naming traditions. It is an alternate spelling of Rayhan, written رَيْحَان in Arabic and ریحان in Urdu. The Arabic word refers to a fragrant plant, commonly identified with sweet basil, and can also refer more broadly to a sweet-smelling herb. Classical Arabic references additionally record related senses such as provision or bounty. The name has a natural and pleasant meaning rooted in the Arabic language. It is familiar among Muslim families in Pakistan and other South Asian communities. Rehan's traditional usage, simple spelling, and botanical association make it an appealing choice for parents who appreciate names with Arabic linguistic roots.
