Visoun

Visoun (also spelled Visun) is a Laotian given name, predominantly male. It is derived from the Pali and Sanskrit word Vishnu, a principal deity in Hinduism.

The name carries associations with the qualities attributed to Vishnu, such as preservation, protection, and benevolence. It is often chosen with the hope that the child will embody these virtues.

The popularity of the name Visoun varies within Laos and among Lao diaspora communities. It reflects the influence of Theravada Buddhism and Hinduism on Lao culture and naming conventions. Alternative spellings and variations may exist, depending on local pronunciation and transliteration practices.
