Sivan
Meaning of Sivan
Sivan is a unisex name of Hebrew provenance, signifying the third month in the Jewish ecclesiastical calendar and intrinsically linked to the festival of Shavuot—when the giving of the Torah and the culmination of the spring grain harvest are commemorated—which emphasizes its foundational role in Judaic liturgical and agricultural cycles. In its phonetic rendering—see-VAHN (/siˈvɑn/)—the name preserves its original morphological integrity while exhibiting modest yet sustained uptake in Anglo-American naming practices, appearing consistently in the United States’ annual infant naming data within the 800–950 popularity bracket since the early 1980s and most recently recording 18 occurrences (rank 932) in 2024. By juxtaposing its historical liturgical resonance with empirical trends in contemporary usage, Sivan offers a technically grounded, culturally resonant option for parents seeking a concise appellation that bridges tradition and modernity.
