Names for Newborn

Assalamu alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Brother in Islam, 

May Allah grant you a healthy child and facilitate an easy birth. Ameen! 

The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam) emphasized on naming children with good names. It is stated in a hadith,

(رواه أبو داود: 235) ‏‏ إِنَّكُمْ تُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَسْمَائِكُمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِكُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا أَسْمَاءَكُم

 ‏Translation: On the Day of Judgment, you will be called by your names and by your father’s names.  Therefore, give yourselves good names. (Abu Dawud: 235).

Good names have a positive effect[i] in a person. Names of Sahabah and pious people also have an effect in the life of a person. We advise you to keep names of the prophets[ii] of Allah, Sahabah and pious personalities. 

Hereunder, are the meanings of the names you enquired.

Written in Arabic	Name	Meaning	Origin
ارحم	Arham	Merciful[iii]	Arabic
احسن	Ahsan	Beautiful, Better[iv]	Arabic
عيان	Ayaan	Watchful[v]	Arabic
عرشان	Arshan	Two thrones[vi]	Arabic
اذهان	Azhaan	Intellects[vii]	Arabic

These are suitable Muslim names. We were unable to locate the name Aihan. 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
