How Popular (or Rare) was Zohan in 2002?

Name Meaning & Origin

Zohan is a modern-sounding name that many people recognise from contemporary culture more than from an old, settled naming tradition. It has energy and memorability, but its exact origin is not firmly fixed in modern use.

The name appears to have gained much of its visibility through pop culture and sound-pattern familiarity rather than through continuous historical first-name use. That makes it appealing but also etymologically less settled.
