Etymology

Shaban is a common male name in Arabic, Turkish and other Muslim communities and comes from the name of the Islamic month Shaban. A helpful way to remember it is that the month name comes from the Arabic root sha'ba meaning 'people' or 'to spread out', so the name often suggests a link to community or that time of year.
