Kevan Origin and Meaning

The name Kevan is a boy's name.

Kevan is a masculine name of Irish and Scottish Gaelic origin, a variant of Kevin, derived from 'Caoimhín,' meaning 'handsome birth' or 'gentle birth.' This spelling variation emerged as an alternative to the more common Kevin, offering a slightly distinctive touch while maintaining the same pronunciation. While Kevin peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, Kevan has remained a less common alternative, appealing to parents seeking a familiar name with a unique spelling. The name carries Celtic heritage and has maintained steady though limited usage throughout English-speaking countries, offering a subtle twist on a classic name.
