Is Eshan an Arabic boy name or not? Many websites with its meaning describe it as "God's grace", "worthy".
Answer
Eshan seems to be a Hindu name, and the Islamic sites seem to have confused it with Ihsan/Ehsan, which means "good deeds", "beautiful manners".
There is no Arabic name that sounds like Eshan. The way some Islamic sites spell it, as عشان, is actually an Arabic slang word that means "for that reason" and no one would use it as a name.
According to some sites in Hindu sources it means "The Lord Vishnu", which they say is the creator of "the other gods". Since this meaning is not acceptable Islamically, Muslims shouldn't use it.
However if in some sources or language Eshan means something that's not against Islamic teachings, then it can be used as a name, since in Islam what matters is the meaning.

I found the name Eshan from an Islamic website and confirmed its meaning with an Islamic scholar which means wealth. I am happy to have named my son Eshan who is now 7 years old and Alham du lilah he goes to mosque on a regular basis.

When I named my son I took care that the name should not be Islamic or should not be found against Islam, I checked many sites where Eshan’s meaning was “Allah’s Grace”. After that I decided that I will name my son Eshan and I named him the same.
