Rasaan is of African origin, derived from the Swahili word 'rasa', meaning 'to be born'. It is a unisex name, used for both boys and girls, but it is more commonly seen as a male name. The name has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and meaning. Rasaan is often spelled variations such as Rasheed or Raashid, but the original spelling is considered to be Rasaan. It does not have any specific religious or cultural significance beyond its African roots. As for its popularity, it is more common in certain regions like Africa and some Muslim communities around the world, but it is still considered a unique and distinctive name anywhere it is used.
"Rasaan experienced its peak popularity between the years 1974 to 1980, with a consistent rise in births from 7 in 1974 to a high of 9 in 1979. After a dip in 1980 and 1985, it began to fluctuate around an average of 6-8 births annually until the late 1990s. The name saw another spike in popularity between 2000 to 2003 with peaks at 16 (2000) and 15 (2002). However, it has since decreased in usage, with fewer than 10 births recorded each year from 2004 onwards, reaching a recent low of 5 births in 2019."
