    The family name "Meadhhan" or "Maddhan" or "Madhan", comes from middle east and might have its origins in central Asian nomadic tribes.



    Iranic pronunciation for it is "Meadh", it is interesting to, while there is a similar sounding word with a different origin called "Mit", while "Mit" is similar to "Meet", both the words "Meadh" and "Mit" seem to be coming from different origins. While "Meadh" might be more closer to Indo European word "Mead" which connects with english word meadow. Now the question arises, Who would have kept such a family names? The answer might be present in ancient lifestyles, i.e. who would have associated themselves with a place like "Meadow"? naturally shepherds, the next question is what animal were these people grazing? The answer might be present in the ancient kingdom of "Media", Median kingdom was established by "Mead's".

    Another word used in some places in Indian context for Madhann is "Kaalheer",,,,,,,, While "Kaal" is a sanskrit word which means "Time" and "Heer" is an old middle eastern/maybe Persian word. It might connect with very old migration to Indian subcontinent of these people.


    Now where is the root of "Heer"? "Heer", "Meer" and "Neer" all are indo european words and found across different languages.
