evan
Evan is a Welsh and English masculine given name, derived from Iefan, a Welsh form of the name John. Evan can also occasionally be found as a shortened version of Greek names like Evangelos, Evander, or Evandro. While predominantly male, the name is occasionally given to women, as with the actress Evan Rachel Wood. It may also be encountered as a surname, although Evans is a far more common form within this context.
Other languages possess words and names ostensibly similar to Evan, such as Eòghann in Scottish Gaelic, Eógan in Irish, Owain in Welsh, and Owen in English. However, these names are altogether different etymologically, generally thought to come from the Greek and Latin word eugenēs, which means "noble" or "well-born".
