Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Shivam: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2011.
With its roots in ancient Sanskrit, Shivam is a masculine name meaning "auspicious" or "blessing," a direct reference to the Hindu god Shiva, who embodies both destruction and transformation. One notable modern bearer is Shivam Mavi, an Indian cricketer known for his fast bowling. The name is also shared by Shivam Dube, another accomplished Indian all-rounder. While not directly linked to a specific Scottish place, the name offers a profound cultural resonance for families honoring Hindu heritage. The variant "Shiva" is more widely known in the West as the deity's name, while Shivam specifically refers to the quality of being auspicious.
