Ziven is a sleek choice with multicultural origins and a bright, energized feel to it. From its Slavic roots, it likely derives from the South Slavic word, živ meaning "alive, living", making it a relative to Živko and Živka, which are used in Serbia and Croatia. It may also be considered a masculine form of Zivena (also called Živa), the goddess of life, love, and fertility in Slavic mythology. It may then also be spelled as Živan.
 
 From its Hebrew roots, Ziven is associated with the second month in the Jewish calendar, Ziv meaning "radiant", adding to that spirited feel. 
 
Alternative possibilities are that it's a form of the Kurdish Zîv meaning "silver" or from Chinese, meaning "child" or "purple flower" and "arts, literature".
