Abdul Basheer, wa alaykum as-salam,
I was not familiar with the name Nihaan, but I looked it up and apparently it means, "hidden, unseen, latent, secret." In Arabic it is a male name, while in Turkish it is used as a female name.
This seems like a strange meaning for a name. I am not going to say that it's un-Islamic. But personally I don't like it. I don't understand the reasoning behind it.
And Allah knows best.
