Evaan is a double-a spelling of Evan, the Welsh form of John, which means "God is gracious"; the spelling follows the South Asian habit of writing long vowels twice, as in Ayaan and Rayaan, and is used by Indian and Pakistani families, Muslim and Hindu alike. Evaan peaked in the United States at number 2,600 in 2019 and ranks number 2,726 among boys in 2025, with 47 births.
