Euan
Boy name · 6,656 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Euan: 6,656 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 288 births in 1999.
Deriving from the Gaelic name Eoghan, Euan traditionally means 'born of the yew tree' or 'youth' – the yew being a symbol of longevity in Celtic culture. The name has been borne by Euan Blair, son of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and by Euan Burton, the Scottish judoka who competed at the Olympics. While no specific place shares this exact spelling, the related form Ewen appears in several Scottish locations, such as Ewen's Burn. Euan remains a steadfastly popular choice in Scotland, where it holds a classic, understated appeal. Its spelling variants Ewan and Ewen are equally common, and the name's Gaelic roots give it a quiet connection to Scotland's ancient heritage without feeling old-fashioned.
