Keyvan is a masculine name with Persian origins. In Persian, it is pronounced as KEY-vahn (/keɪˈvæn/). A variation of this name is Keyvon. In the United States, Keyvan has been given to newborn boys since at least 1988, with varying levels of popularity over the years. In recent years, however, it has become less commonly used. Despite its relatively low occurrence in recent years, Keyvan holds a unique and distinctive charm that may appeal to parents seeking an uncommon name for their baby boy.
