Shivan

Meaning of Shivan

The name Shivan sparkles like the first rays of dawn over the Ganges: a Sanskrit gem meaning “gracious” or “auspicious,” and a loving whisper to Lord Shiva himself, the cosmic dancer. In India, every syllable—SHEE-vuhn—rolls off the tongue like a melody carried on a monsoon breeze, and around the globe it’s fast becoming a hidden treasure for adventurous parents. Here in the U.S., you’ll spot half a dozen or so little Shivans each year, nudging the name into the 900-plus ranks on the baby charts—a quiet undercurrent with the promise to surge. Choosing Shivan is like inviting a story of renewal and strength to every playground hello, with just the right dash of myth and mischief to keep life delightfully spirited.
