Meaning: Of Ivan; Yahweh is gracious; Of Evan; God is gracious; Born of yew; Youth

Iven is a masculine name with a collage of meanings to inspire baby. First, it derives from Slavic and Hebrew Ivan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious." This variation has starred in many literary works, including Katherine Applegate's The One and Only Ivan and Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. Iven may also be rooted in Welsh Evan, meaning "God is gracious," "youth," and "born of yew," after a tree symbolizing immortality. With his heavenly name, baby Iven will have faith in their future and be forever young!
