    Meaning

    This name is traditionally given to a child born during a time of unrest or turbulence, perhaps during war or hardship. Naming a child Looyaan reflects the circumstances of their birth and connects them to the story of resilience in their family history. It is also bestowed upon a child who, even in early life, shows a restless spirit — one who cannot be easily calmed or contained, as if carrying within them the motion and unpredictability their name describes.
