Deshan is an uncommon name of Indian origin, derived from the Sanskrit words 'desa' meaning country or region, and 'han' meaning to destroy or conquer. It is often associated with the epic Mahabharata, where it refers to a warrior who was known for his courage and bravery on the battlefield. In India, Deshan is typically given to boys and has been traditionally used within Hindu families. However, in recent years, it has started to gain popularity among parents of other backgrounds as well due to its unique sound and meaningful origin.
"Despite fluctuations over the years, the name Deshan has maintained a consistent presence, with at least one birth occurring every year between 1971 and 2023, except for 1973 and several years in the late 1980s to early 1990s. The peak years were mostly concentrated in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a high of 13 births in 1992."
