History and Origin
Evan is a Welsh masculine given name derived from "lefen", a Welsh form for the name John. In other languages it could be compared to "Ivan", "Ian", and "Juan"; the name John itself is derived from the ancient Hebrew name יְהֹוחָנָן Yəhôḥānān, which means "YHWH is gracious". Evan comes from Gaelic Eóghan meaning "youth" or "young warrior" and Scots for "right-handed". In Hebrew, the actual non-Proper noun, "evan/even/eban/eben", literally means "rock". It can also be the shortened version of the Greek name "Evangelos" (meaning messenger) or "Evander" (meaning good man). The name is also occasionally given to girls, as with actress Evan Rachel Wood. The surname version of the name often used is Evans.
