History & Origin

Nevaan is a contemporary Indian boy's name drawn from Sanskrit and usually glossed as 'new, fresh' or 'holy, kind.' It belongs to a wave of crisp two-syllable names embraced by Indian and Indian American families. Nevaan appears in United States birth records mainly in the twenty-tens.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its high in the mid twenty-tens, so a Nevaan from that peak is a young child or teen today. It reads as a fresh modern name on a classical root.

Did you know? Nevaan, often spelled Nivaan, is one of many short, upbeat Sanskrit-inspired boys' names, like Vivaan and Reyansh, favored by Indian families in recent years.
