Is it a good name to keep for a boy?

Answer

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

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

Shayan is a Persian name which means deserving and worthy[1]. Thus, it is a suitable name to keep for a boy. However, we advise you to name your children with names that bear Islaamic identity, such as the names of the honorable prophets (‘Alaihimus salaam) and the illustrious Sahaabah (Radhiyallaahu ‘anhum)[2].

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
