Evren

Boy name · 8 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Evren: 8 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 5 births in 2025.

Evren is a name of Turkish origin, meaning "universe" or "cosmos" — a beautiful, expansive choice for a child. It gained international recognition through Kenan Evren, the Turkish military leader who served as president in the 1980s, though the name itself has long been used as a given name across Turkey and the wider Turkic world. In fiction, Evren appears as a character in the popular video game series *Assassin's Creed*, lending it a contemporary, adventurous edge. While not historically Scottish, the name has appeared on Scotland's birth registers in recent decades, often chosen by families with Turkish heritage or those drawn to its celestial, open-ended feel. Its sound echoes the familiar Scottish surname "Evan", yet Evren carries a distinct global resonance that feels both modern and timeless.
