Azaan

Azaan is a South Asian spelling associated with the Arabic adhan, the call that announces the time for Muslim prayer. The Arabic word carries the sense of an announcement or proclamation, while its religious use gives it a specific daily role. The spelling with z reflects the way the word is commonly represented in Urdu and other regional usage.

As a given name, Azaan can therefore express a family's connection with Islamic practice and with a sound that marks the rhythm of communal life. Azan and Adhan are related written forms, though the choice often follows a family's language. Its meaning is more specific than simply music or a beautiful voice: it refers to the announcement of prayer.
