Rihansh is of Indian origin, derived from the Sanskrit words 'Raja' meaning king and 'Hansa' signifying swan. It is a unisex name, gaining popularity in recent times due to its unique sound and spelling. In Hindu mythology, Hanash is considered sacred as it represents the divine swan, associated with Lord Brahma, the creator god. The name Rihansh is believed to convey elegance, grace, and nobility, much like the swan itself. It is a monophonic name, composed of two distinct syllables that flow smoothly into each other. Spelled with an 'i' instead of a 'y', it stands out as unique among other Indian names. While its meaning and origin make it predominantly Indian, Rihansh's phonetics lend it a global appeal. It is often pronounced as /riːˈhɑːnʃ/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
"Rihansh has seen a steady, though intermittent, increase in popularity over the years, with a total of 23 babies named Rihansh born between 2014 and 2023."
