Meaning
Zeeshan, explained
Zeeshan (ذِيشَان) is an Urdu name for boys. It means dignified, of high rank. It is made of two Arabic words, dhi (owner of) and shan (rank), joined in Urdu and Persian.
Is Zeeshan in the Quran?
No. Zeeshan is not a word in the Quran. A name does not need to be in the Quran to be a good Muslim name: what matters is that its meaning is good. The Prophet ﷺ changed names with bad meanings and kept names with good ones.1
How to say and write Zeeshan
Say it zee-SHAAN. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Zishan and Zeshan. In Arabic it is written with 5 letters, from right to left: ذ dhal + ي ya + ش shin + ا alif + ن nun.
Choosing Zeeshan
A Muslim name does not have to be Arabic. Scholars allow names from any language as long as the meaning is good and the name is not tied to another religion. Zeeshan has a good meaning, so it is fine to use. With the father's name it becomes Zeeshan bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
