Ivann
Meaning of Ivann
Ivann, pronounced ee-VAHN (/iˈvɑn/), constitutes a variant of the Slavic Ivan—itself traceable to the Greek Ioannes and ultimately to the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “God is gracious”—distinguished by its terminal double “n” and sustained, if limited, presence within Anglo-American naming conventions. Its historical and linguistic pedigree spans Semitic, Hellenistic, and Slavic strata, conferring upon it a measured gravitas and technical precision that appeals to parents seeking culturally resonant yet phonetically clear appellations. In the United States during the early twenty-first century, Ivann has maintained a niche but consistent usage, registering between five and fourteen births annually and holding national rankings from roughly 800 to 938, a profile indicative of its understated rarity. The name’s associations with Eastern European heritage, ecclesiastical tradition, and enduring etymological depth render it a choice of deliberate sophistication rather than transient trend.
