Zeeshan (Zişan) or Zeshan (Zeşan) is a Turkish given name, derived from words "Zee" (possessor of, from Arabic ذو) and "Shan" (high status or splendor, from Arabic شأن), sometimes simply translated as "princely" or "Moon". This word is also used in Persian, Urdu and sometimes in Turkish poetry as an adjective.

In South Asia, this name is mostly used for males; however, the name is neutral in gender and can also be used for females (mostly in Turkey) with meanings "Moon", "magnificent" and "brilliant".
