Yazan is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, from the ancient South Arabian name Yāzan, borne by the legendary warrior king Sayf ibn Dhī Yazan, meaning 'determined' or 'one who aims high, resolute.'
The name has ancient Arabian epic resonance — Sayf ibn Dhī Yazan was the heroic Yemeni king who liberated his homeland, and his story became one of the great epics of Arabic literature. Yazan carries determination and heroic resolve, widely used in the Arab world and increasingly in Muslim communities globally.
