The name Shaban is a boy's name meaning "eightH month of the Islamic calendar; to scatter, to branch out".

An Arabic name, also used to refer to the eighth month of the Islamic calendar. More literally, the name comes from the word <em>shaʿaba</em> meaning "to scatter, branch out, to spread", a name bestowed on the month possibly because it was originally a time when ancient tribes would split up to look for new land and new water supplies. An alternative theory is that it may mean "to be in between two things", which, in the case of the month, it exists between the sacred month of Rajab and the month of Ramadan.
