Spelling: Alif or Ain

Re: Spelling: Alif or Ain

i had a hindu friend of a friend who’s name is Ishaan- that was pronounced with a soft I sound like, in Islam. not with a hard E sound like Eve.

what about Ezaan as an alternative? it means “farmabardar” and the urdu spelling is right here- ezaan name meaning in urdu - Muslim Babay Names, Muslim Girl Names, Muslim Boy Names
interesting though because this is my cousin’s name and we pronounce it with a hard E but it says here its spelt with an alif, so technically, that would be a soft E. hrmm… i’m going to check with my grandfather about that.
