About Keyvan
Keyvan is a Persian name with roots in ancient Iranian mythology. It is derived from 'Kayvān,' which was the Persian name for the planet Saturn. In Persian culture, Saturn was associated with wisdom, patience, and deep thought. The name carries connotations of intelligence and contemplative nature. While primarily used in Iran and among Persian-speaking communities, Keyvan has gained some recognition in other parts of the world due to global migration. It remains relatively uncommon in Western countries, maintaining its distinctive character and cultural significance. Men named Keyvan are often perceived as thoughtful, wise, and possessing a calm demeanor.
Pronounced KAY-vahn.
As of October 2026, Keyvan ranked #9341 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4976 in 1994.
