Rahsaan meaning

I named my son Rahsaan and he is 9 years old. I feel in love with the name in 2008 when neosoul artist Rahsaan Patterson reemerged on the'scene, who was also named after Rahsaan Roland Kirk like so many othe's here. I heart the name. It is my child's middle name with his first name being Imad.

I have also met a female Rahsaan; it is the wife of a college mate. She told me it meant 'sunshine.'

my name is Rahsaan and yes it is the most mispronounced name ever, so most people just call me saani which is also mispronounced also. so if people arent calling me raheem rasheen rashed they call me sunny about twelve times before they call me saani. but ita a name i wouldent change for the world so all other rahsaans i love you .

rahsaan is my name and people have a hard time saying it

I named my youngest son Rahsaan, after the great Jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk. He has been correcting people who mispronounce since he was a young child. He told me one of his bosses pronounced his name as "Russell", go figure.

Hello, my name is not "Rahsaan" but I named my would be 38 year old son this name because of Rahsaan Roland Kirk and my sisters best friend named her'son Rahsaan. My Rahsaan was shot 18 years ago but later'sucuumed to his gun shot wound. In memory of him, his son that was born 2 months prior to his death is middled named Rahsaan and my 7 year old grandson is 1st named Rahsaan. I love this name and hold it very dear to my heart.

Yet another 36 year old Rahsaan....and I live in Chicago. I have been'told that the name means "warmth from the'son" and it is Egyptian in origin. My parents too were big fans of the I'mensely talented Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Like the rest of you guys, trying to have people pronounce the name correctly has been a torturous process....but I'must admit that i love my name because it is so unique and It'sounds strong.

RAHSAAN is the name of my neice. She is a quiet but very strong-willed girl. I think it is also a gorgeous name for a girl.

I have only met one person with the name Rahsaan but i loved him! When i first met him i didnt kno how to spell it of even say it... i would spell it Rashaan and pronounce it Rashawn... I guess he was used to it because he never corrected people when pronounced it wrong!

I am only thirteen years old and i am trying to look for the meaning of my name. I always felt that Rahsaan meant the wise or the philospher. Philosopher discribes me the most, and thats what im sticking to. Also my name is spelled wrong very often, and said wrong very often.

MY NAME IS RAHSAAN AND MANY PEPOPLE SAY IT AS RASHAWN BUT ITS PRONOUNCED ROSS-ON

My name is Rahsaan. I am 43 years old. I am from the east coast. I am also named after Rahsaan Roland Kirk. I named my first born son Rahsaan (age 19). We have experienced various mispronunciations and misspellings all our lives. People have told me they prefer Coltrane, Miles or never heard of Kirk. But, I beli've Mr. Kirk inspired more people to name their children after him.

I too, am a 36 yr old Rahsaan. I was also named after Rahsaan Roland Kirk, yet I was also curious of the origin. My parents said it meant 'creative one' and the orrigin was Syrian. i've looked in a few name books, checked many websIt's and have learned another meaning as 'versatile one' and it is a literal interpretation as 'son of Rah' ( the Egyptian god of the'sun). 1 love to all Rahsaans!

My husband named my first born Rahsaan after the Jazz artist, Rahsaan Roland Kirk. He names his first born Rahsaan as well. They arre Kings in their own right. Royal and manly. Much love. your mom Shirley

my name is Rhasaan Rolland Dark,33. and obviously i am named after the great jazz musician. it is also obivious that my parents were still under the influence of whatevter it was that all of your parents were smokinin as you were being conceived because they spelled my name wrong.i have also been called rha shawn as well along with rockson or even roxsan. it is good to know there are so many of us out here. i thought i was the only 1 for the first 13 years of my life but up until now i only met 2 and herad of 1 other. i also have a nephew age9 that is named after me.... lol we should start a national Rhasaan Day for all of us to celabrate. i once had a waiter at applebees that had the name Rhasaan Rolland, he was the 2nd one that I'met i was 30 years old then..

i've never met a female Rahssan. I am female and my middle name is Rahsaan, misspelled on my birth certificate as Rahsan. LOL My younger cousin was named after me- her middle name as well. My parents named me after the jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk. I love my middle name and when I was younger often'thought of going by it because my first name is more common.

I am female and spell the name differently. No one can pronounce it. Ra-saan. H is silent. Beautiful sounding name but it is arabic and nowadays that is a problem.

MY NAME IS ALSO RAHSAAN D.M ALSO THE MOST MISPRONOUNCED MIS-SPELLED NAME IN THE WORLD BUT I LOVE MY NAME I EVEN NAMED MY SON RAHSAAN. I USE TO RAP RAHSAAN THE DON ALWAYS HAD A NICE RING TO IT THATS EVEN MY MYSPACE NAME FUNNY THING IS I KNOW 2 WITH The'sAME NAME BUT NOBODYELSE BUT NOW I'm STARTING TO SEE MY NAME EVERYWHERE AND THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. (O.Y.RAHSAAN IS NOT A FEMALE,S NAME FOR THE RECORD SO IF KNOW A FEMALE WITH THIS SPELLING YOUR PRONOUCING IT WRONG)

People ALWAYS spell and pronounce it wrong. It's like dyslexia kicks in and they SEE my name printed RAHSAAN .. but pronounce it RASHAAN. Over the years, i've been called Russell, Russ, Russian, Rasheed, Rashaan, Rashaad, Rasheen.

My son's name is Rahsaan. It has various positive meanings-Arabic-gift from God; African-Versatility. It was chosen, moreso or the Arabic meaning. My son;s name is OFTEN mispronounced...as if the entire world is dyslexic and all they can see is Rashawn...Its easy...Rah-SUN. I love my son's name. I often say "My son, Rahsaan, is the'sun that lights my life"

My name is Rahsaan and although i never thought of it much it is a uncommon but sexy name for a boy and until i looked it up never could have imagine that a female could have had this wonderful name. yes it is always mispronounce but everyone who say it for the first time loves it.

My sons name is Rasaan but still pronounced the'same as Rahsaan... and yes it is often either mis-pronounced or like when i take him to the doctor they just call him by his last name, even still I love his name.

my boyfriends name is rausaan. differently spelled...he told me he grew up knowing its meaning as little king. though versatile and compassionate are perfect descriptions of him as well. i love his name. often mispronounced. there will be a rausaan jr. :) LOVE IT! love him-

I named my son after both the famous musical Rahsaan's. he's a budding musician himself at age 11.

I am a HUGE fan of Rahsaan Roland Kirk and am writing a book about his life. It'seems like many people who posted here are named after him because their parents are fans. cheers, may

We named our son Raven. I love the name because it is different & not alot of people around here have the name. Sometimes we call him Ray for short.

"of many talents" that was the definition of our name that was told to me. like many of you on this post, I too have the most mis-eveything(ed) name in the book. I am thirty-six this year and I can recall my father telling me to consider changing my name when I got into the business world. not a chance. I love my name. actually, I am suprized to learn that there have been so many people with this name. my parents got the name from Roland Kirk also. Peace and prosperity to the RAHSAAN Nation ;)

My name is Rahsaan I'm 39 and I too was named after the very talented Rahsaan Roland Kirk. As a kid I told people my name was Shaun it was just easy, now I won't have any of that, Rahsaan is pronounced bodly and proudly. i've been called everything but my name including my family. Question to the other Rahsaans. Have you ever called a girl and said your name and her mom said "her'son"❤️❤️ Lol

Peace my name is Darmel Rahsaan. It was at first my middle name but now its my last. I'm also named after the great god of them all Pharaoh Rahsaan Rolin Domino Kirk.

My name is Rahsaan and i am 26 years old. i was also named after Rahsan Roland Kirk, my dad was a fan. i agree that no one can pronounce our name and had a horrible chilhood because of it. if that wasn't enought in 2014 i joined the US Navy and was discriminated because people thaught i was a terrorist or something. also i think I'may be one of the few if not only white guy named Rahsaan lol.

My name is Rahsaan as well and my late father was a huge fan of Rahsaan Roland Kirk too. I'm more into Coltrane, D. Gordon, and Miles. The name is unique and powerful and I'm very thankful he gave me this name. It'seems that many of us are 36, which is probably at the height of R. Roland Kirk's popularity. Thanks for the all the contributors who provided some meaning too our shared name.

My name is Rahsaan and of course its very hard for people who don't know you to get it right. The good thing, you can always tell who really knows me by the way they pronounce it. I beli've I was named after the Jazz Musician, but I have a twin named Rahman - so it flows Rahsaan & Rahman

My husband name is Rahsaan and my family calls him everything but how It'suppose to sound....his parents named him after the jazz musician Rahsaan Rolind Kirk...actually the musician is blind and my husband grandfather was his driver in Philadelphia,PA.

My son is named Rahsaan. I get the Rashawn all the time. It is a hard core name. A strong name. A fI'm name.

Rah - Sun God, the most powerful Saan - Son Son of God

my name is rahsaan as well I'm 36 yrs and was named after the jazz musician.just as many othe's my name is mispronounced and mispelled but i have come to live with it.however i chose not to name my first born son the'same because of those reasons,but i do love my name and wouldn't change it for the world even'though i see it appearing more and more nowa days

Greetings to all,On 9/9/11 my wife gave birth to our fourth son whom we named Rahsaan Naeem.It has been a week and we are already correcting people on how to properly pronounce his name.He has been called Rayshawn,Reesan,Raasoon.The only folks who come close to saying his name right are foreigners.

Well, I certainly had a lot of nicknames as a kid, practically everything rhymes with it. Furthermore, whenever my parents found something wrong, they'd yell "hey", and I had the disconcerting tendancy to then be there to clean up some other'siblings' mess or problem. Nevertheless, I wouldn't trade my name for anything. Jay W.

My name is Rhasaan and I pronounce it the'same. I was named after Rahsaan Roland Kirk even'though I am female. I am 34 yrs old. It'seems like our name was very popular in the 70's. No one can pronounce my name and I am constantly called Rashawn which I hate.

The name Reagan is very strong and feminine. All these nuts bringing politics into it are just crazy. I am Canadian for goodness sake and I love the name!

The correct pronunciation is "Ah-leen." People are CONSTANTLY pronouncing my name wrong, like "Ah-lenn" or "Aileen" and i've even been called "Allen," like the male name! I love my name but it is a bit of a hassle when you first meet people. It's also apparently difficult for people to learn how to spell it..

My husband name is Rahsaan and his mother named him that after the jazz musician. His grandfather use to choffer him (Rahsaan Roland Kirk). People usually mispronounce it and say Rashaun. We are in Europe now he plays basketball and the announcer'surprisingly pronounce it correctly. When we have a son that will be his name also. I think it is very unique.

It is rather personal, but it is my son's name and he loved It'so much that he named three of his sons Rassan. So not only do I have a son with the name but three grandsons and a cousin with the'same name.

My name is Rahsan. I was born in 1990. Pronounced Rah-saaan. This is a powerful name. Growing up when anyone mentioned the name Rahsan they knew exactly who you were talking about. I was told it meant beautiful/handsome. i've never met a dude named Rahsan that I didn't like. We're real folks.

My name is Rahsaan but i pronounce it Rashan. I did some research on the name and found out that is does come from Egyptian and Arabic decent.

my name is Rahsaan Malik I was born in Akron Ohio 1986 I'm 36 now and always knew my name meant something special,as a child in the kindergarten my teacher made me stand in the corner for correcting her for mis-pronouncing my name.the name RAH= means the'sun SAAN= means the'son Malik =King so there U have.I was born the'son of the'sun a KING

The most popular girls' name in the country for two years. How in the name of good taste did this happen❤️ Thankfully, the Madison-ness craze with all of its ridiculous variations seems to have slowed down.

My name is Rahsaan and i agree like every one else that are name is the most mispronouce name in da world, but i learn to ignore it as long as they are close to my name i don't trip.

My name is Rahsaan, I'm 38, and I was name after The Great Rahsaan Roland Kirk. My parents saw him play & vowed if they ever had a son then'that would be his name. i've been called everything but Rahsaan. I once got in trouble for telling my 4th grade English teacher how can she grade me on spelling when she can't even say my name correctly.

my sons name is rahssan. i thought it ment little king.

Nice name it means Benevolent King... beautiful name

My son's middle name name is Rah'saan and he has taking to a different level Rah (the'sun) (my son) being fI'mly pronounce he's 8 and very into his purpose.

I also have been blessed to be named Rassan. My mother initially taught me the'spelling "R A H S A A N" but it was spelled wrong on my birth certificate so I adapted the incorrect spelling of RASSAN which I unfortunately use til this day. No wonder I could never find the meaning. It wasn't until I remembered the original spelling did I learn of It's Hebrew meaning of "compassionate". I am artistband have noticed that most men who share this name tend to be extremely creative in one form or another. PEACE Brothe's.

this is a bad name i hate it call call ur son this or little girl please

My younger brother's name is Rahsaan, we are muslim, but I sometimes get disturbed that people don't even'try to pronounce it correctly and he is only 10... im 13, I try to straighten'them out sometimes.

This is my brother's name. I think the only think he does n't like about it is that almost everywhere he's been, School, work, etc. there is an'ther daniel. however he has alsways seemed to keep his full name. All the other daniels get dan, danny, or whatever else.

Another 'Rahsaan' here. 36yrs. Also named after Roland Kirk. Same pronounciation issues. I read once that the origin is Hebrew, and it means 'bright wisdom'.

hi, my name is Rahsaan Roland Kirton.. well, like most of you guys i am also named after the jazz player. i have both of his name. i live i Guyana, and i know im the only one with this name. so, its very hard to tell persons my name'sometimes i get called females names like roxanne. etc. when persons ask my name i say i dont have 1. i think the name is cool

I love the name. That is my son's middle name. i thought I was being original. I loved It'since I first heard it, befor I even Googled it!

My name is Rahsaan O. Redmond.. I can't beli've so many people carry the name. I thought I was the only one at a youg age and "hated" my name.. As I got older I started to appreciate my name more and more. As 38 yr old man now, you can't call me anythng but my full 1st name. No shorts "rah"-"saan"- "rashaan" ( I get them all).. It is a RESPECT thing for me.. Also named after Rahsaan Rowland Kirk. (Man if he only knew, LOL).. Glad to see people share my same love of their name.. RAHSAAN !!!

I named my only son Rahsan Jaimin Khalif. I thought all this time that Rahsan meant warrior. But it doesn't matter because he is the light of my life. He came into my life 20 years ago. He has brought me such joy.

My name is Rahsaan. I was named after Rahsaan Roland Kirk as well. Not sure why but 98% of people who look at my name'swear it is Rashad, Rashawn. It irritates me so much!!

MY Name is Rahsan with one a ... this name has spirit :)...
