History & Origin

Yuven comes from Sanskrit yuvan, 'young; a youth'. The word belongs to a deep Indo-European root shared with Latin iuvenis and English 'young'. As a given name, Yuven and the fuller Yuvan have grown in use among Indian families in recent generations, prized for a short, bright sound with an old word behind it (said 'YOO-ven').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare here, current in India.

Did you know? The Sanskrit yuvan behind Yuven is a very old word — a cousin of Latin iuvenis, which gives English 'juvenile' and 'young' itself.
