Real-world considerations
- Some baby-name aggregator sites gloss Ishaan/Ishan as meaning "sun" or "lord of wealth" in addition to "ruler/lord"; those additional senses were not independently confirmed against a Sanskrit dictionary source in this research pass and are not asserted here. No dictionary-sourced pronunciation (IPA) for the English transliteration "Ishaan" was located.
