Ivaan is a modern spelling variant of the Sanskrit name Ivan, meaning "God is gracious." While Ivan itself is a Slavic form of John, Ivaan has gained traction as a masculine name in Indian and Scottish naming trends since the 2000s. The most famous bearer is Ivaan Cotton, a Canadian author and photographer, though the name also shares roots with the Russian Ivan the Terrible. There are no direct place connections, but the roots tie to the River John in Scotland. A notable variant is the similar-sounding Ewan, which is a Scottish name derived from the Gaelic "Eoghan" meaning "born of the yew tree"—offering a slightly different but equally rich origin.
