Vihaan means ‘dawn’, ‘daybreak’ or ‘morning’ in Hindi. Wiktionary records the word and given name and connects it with Sanskrit vihāna. The Sanskrit evidence is more qualified: Monier-Williams marks that entry with a query and attributes it to lexicographers rather than literary examples. The Hindi dawn meaning is therefore documented clearly, while the earlier Sanskrit history should retain its uncertainty. It is a stronger basis than a resemblance to another sun-associated name.

Spelling and pronunciation
विहान is read vi-haan, in two syllables with a short i and a long aa. Vihan is another recorded Roman spelling. Sound the h between the vowels. Vivaan replaces that h with v and is a different name, so the two should not share meanings merely because they look similar.
Also spelled Vihan.
