History & Origin
Tevan is a coined boys' name in United States records from around 1990. It reads as a cousin of Tevin, a coinage that spread with the singer Tevin Campbell, or as a Te- reshaping of Devan. There is no firmly documented root; the appeal is the crisp, modern sound.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year in the early 1990s. A boy named Tevan then is in his thirties now, from a generation fond of fresh Te-/De- names.
