I´m not positive on this, but as far as I´m informed the suffix "-hang" means star. DH´s niece is called Shabahang - evening star.

Hi Rose,Hooshang (or Hoshang) derives from the Avestan language of Persia, and means "wise and intelligent." The older form is Haoshyangha, the name of a king in the 1,000 year old Persian semi-mythological epic "Shahnameh".- Da.
