Rohan is connected with Sanskrit rohaṇa, ‘ascending’ or ‘climbing’, from a root that also includes rising and thriving. Wiktionary records the Hindi given name under रोहण. ‘Growing’ follows the root's broader sense of thriving rather than a separate definition of the name. The spelling रोहन is also used, but differs in its n sound from the dictionary form. The ascent meaning is documented, with that spelling distinction kept visible.

Spelling and pronunciation
रोहण and रोहन are read ro-han in Hindi, in two syllables with a steady long o. The first spelling uses an n made with the tongue curled back; the second has a plain n. Rohaan suggests a longer second vowel. Sound the h between the vowels.
Also spelled Rohaan.
