Rohan , Ruadhan , Ruan are all gaelic spellings of Rowan and all pronounced ROEin. Outside North America Rohan is a common spelling far more associated with the irish than hindi name. Infact in australia i know several Rohan(ROEin) and not one Rohan(ROE-han). This is also the case in the british isles.

Ruadhan is pronounced ROO-awn, but still very similar. I've often heard Rohan pronounced as ROE-in as well.
