Jevan
Meaning of Jevan
The male given name Jevan, pronounced JEE-vuhn (/ˈdʒiːvən/), is a morphological variant of the Welsh Evan—it ultimately derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, via the Greek Iōannēs and Latin Iohannes—and conveys the meaning “God is gracious.” Within Anglo-American naming practices, Jevan has maintained infrequent yet steady usage: Social Security Administration records from 1973 to 2017 show annual occurrences of five to thirty-three births, with corresponding popularity ranks oscillating between 645 and 922. Its phonological structure—commencing with the voiced post-alveolar affricate /dʒ/ and terminating in the alveolar nasal /n/—ensures clear enunciation while imparting a measured reserve, aligning with modern preferences for names that balance classical gravitas and understated distinctiveness. An analytical review of its longitudinal trajectory highlights Jevan’s consistent placement at the periphery of top-1000 listings, making it an apt selection for parents desiring a name of traditional resonance yet singular character.
