Question
What is the meaning of Safan?
Answer
This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff
Safan is an Arabic name for boys that means "ship captain", it also means "ship-builder". It is pronounced [(SU)pper + (F)un] + [(FA)r + (N)ew], but you can pronounce it as [(SU)pper] + [(FA)r + (N)ew] if you prefer. It is an "indirect Quranic name" from the S-F-N root.
