Ladan is an uncommon but intriguing female given name of Persian origin. It means "tender" or "delicate", reflecting its soft and graceful sound. Spelled as لادان in the Persian alphabet, it is used primarily in Iran, other parts of the Middle East, and among Iranian communities worldwide. Ladan is often paired with names such as Ali, Farhad, and Shirin to create beautiful family name combinations.
The name Ladan has seen varied popularity over the decades, with notable spikes in usage during certain periods. The name's most popular years were 2001 and 2017, each with 14 and 13 births respectively, indicating a significant demand for the name during those times. However, it's important to note that these numbers represent births in just one year out of many, suggesting that while Ladan may have been highly favored by parents on occasion, its overall usage remained quite consistent throughout the years, with an average of around 10 births per year over the entire span from 1977 to 2021.
