What does Zidan mean?
Increase, growth
In Turkish: artış, çoğalma
Zidan can be understood as an alternative transliteration of the name also rendered Zeydan. If that identification is correct, its meaning concerns increase and growth, placing it in the same root family as Zayd and Ziyad. Since the form also occurs as a surname, its role in an individual record should be checked.
The ending “-an” is a common final sound rather than a suffix with one shared meaning here. Aslan, Hasan and Yaman have different origins and structures despite their matching endings. More boy names ending in -an →
