Krishan is a unisex given name of Sanskrit origin, meaning "dark" or "black." It is often used interchangeably with Krishna, which also means "black" and refers to the eighth avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. Krishan is popular among people of Indian descent worldwide but has also gained recognition internationally due to its unique sound and spelling.
