Rovshan

Rovshan is the Azerbaijani and Central Asian form of the Persian roshan, meaning bright, luminous, clear. It is a common masculine name in Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, and shows up as a surname too, often carrying the dignity of an inherited title rather than a nickname. Said rov-SHAHN, two syllables with the stress on the second, it has a frank, handsome sound, the v giving it a slightly Slavic roll. The image behind the name is small and lovely, a lamp in a window, a room filled with clean light. Rovshan is traditional in feel but still vigorous, an open window of a name.
