Meaning & Origin
a male given name, equivalent to English John
Ean is a boy's baby name of Irish origin, an anglicization of Eoin (the Irish form of John) or a variant spelling of Ian, both ultimately derived from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning 'God is gracious.' Eoin and Ian are the Scottish and Irish equivalents of John throughout the Celtic world.
Short, clean, and distinctive, Ean works as a simplified spelling that retains Celtic heritage. It has the quiet confidence of one-syllable names — nothing flashy, just solid and understated.
