Meaning & Origin
illative singular of iva
Ivaan is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant spelling of Ivan, the Slavic form of John, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious." The double-A spelling gives this classic name a slightly elongated, distinctive written form.
Ivan has been one of the most common names in Russia and Eastern Europe for centuries, borne by tsars and literary heroes alike. The Ivaan spelling gives this classic Slavic name a more distinctive, modern appearance while preserving the same deep historical and spiritual heritage.
