The name Vihaan is derived from Sanskrit and carries a beautiful, layered meaning. It broadly translates to dawn, morning, or the first rays of sunlight. Symbolically, it represents new beginnings, fresh energy, and hope, marking the transition from darkness to light.
In many Indian traditions, dawn is considered the most sacred time of the day, associated with prayer, reflection, and renewal. Naming a child Vihaan subtly ties them to these values, evoking a sense of calm strength and promise.

Sharing a tender photograph of their son’s tiny hand, the couple wrote, “Our Ray of Light Vihaan Kaushal… Prayers are answered. Life is beautiful. Our world is changed in an instant. Gratitude beyond words.” The heartfelt caption resonated strongly with fans, who praised the couple for the simplicity and depth of the moment.
In Indian philosophy, light symbolizes more than illumination it represents clarity, hope, and divine blessing. The morning sun, in particular, is associated with fresh starts and spiritual awakening. The name Vihaan aligns seamlessly with this symbolism, reinforcing the couple’s message of gratitude and transformation.
The name has also been growing in popularity among modern parents seeking names that are rooted in tradition yet contemporary in feel, spiritual without being overwhelming.
