Sullevan Origin and Meaning

The name Sullevan is a boy's name.

Sullevan is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Sullivan, which has Irish Gaelic origins. The original Sullivan derives from the Irish 'Súileabháin,' meaning 'black-eyed one' or 'hawk-eyed.' This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a distinctive touch while maintaining its strong Celtic heritage. Sullivan has historically been more common as a surname than a first name, but has gained popularity as a given name in recent decades. The variant Sullevan is quite rare, making it an uncommon choice for parents seeking a name with Irish roots and historical depth, but with a unique spelling that sets it apart from more conventional options.
