Kaven
Meaning of Kaven
Kaven is a masculine name that functions as a contemporary respelling of the Irish Gaelic Caoimhín—commonly anglicized as Kevin—and ultimately rooted in elements meaning “gentle birth” or “handsome.” Pronounced /ˈkeɪvɪn/, it mirrors the familiar Kevin in sound while offering a distinctive visual twist. In the United States, Kaven has occupied a steady, if modest, place just inside the top one thousand names since the early 1990s, most recently ranking 905th in 2024. Its steady but selective use reflects an understated confidence: a name that honors traditional Gaelic heritage without blending into the crowd.
