Jevan
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Jevan: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2000.
Jevan is a modern variant of the ancient Hebrew name John, ultimately derived from the biblical name Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious." Its spelling echoes the Cornish and Welsh form Jevan, also linked to Ivan and John, though in Scotland it is often a creative respelling of the Gaelic Seònaid or a masculine form of Jennifer. Famous bearers are few—Jevan Soo, a Singaporean cricketer, and Jevan Snead, an American college football quarterback—giving the name a fresh, individual feel. It shares no direct place connections, though its root, John, has inspired countless locations (e.g., St. John's, Newfoundland). The name Jevan remains rare in Scotland, yet it offers a distinctive twist on a timeless classic.
