Shayan is a unisex given name of Persian origin, derived from the word 'shahin', which means 'eagle' or 'king'. It is often associated with royalty and strength due to its meaning. Shayan can also be considered an alternative spelling for the Hebrew name Samuel. In recent years, it has gained popularity worldwide, particularly in countries such as Iran, India, and Canada.
"Shayan saw its popularity peak in the late 90s and early 2000s with consistent birth rates between 6 to 7 annually from 1996 to 2003, before slightly declining thereafter."
