Kavan

Meaning of Kavan

Kavan is a spirited name with roots in Ireland and India and a Latin sabor that makes it dance. From the Gaelic Caomhán it means “little beloved,” a tender title whispered through emerald hills. In Sanskrit it echoes kavya, the art of poetry, and flows like a gentle river. Parents find it charmingly rare—only about fifteen boys in the U.S. were named Kavan in 2024—yet it feels instantly familiar. It rolls off the tongue as KAY-vin in Ireland or kuh-VAHN in India. A child named Kavan carries a poetic spark, a generous heart, and the promise of new adventures—like inviting a mini poet to every family gathering. It’s a name that inspires, like a sunrise bridging the old world and the new, wrapped in warmth and possibility.
