Meaning & History

This name can be used as 岩 (gan, iwa) meaning "rock, crag" or 磐 (han, ban, iwa), with the same meaning as 岩.

It was moderately popular in the Edo period (1603-1868) but by the first half of the Meiji period (1868-1912), the name slightly dropped in popularity and became uncommon by the second half.
