Evian is a modern American name that reads like a blend of Evan and Ian, both forms of John, and so carries their meaning "God is gracious"; most Americans also know it as the French spa town and mineral water brand. The name has only recently found its footing: from number 5904 in 2019 it jumped to number 2422 in 2020, peaked at number 1944 in 2024 and ranked number 2582 in 2025 with 51 boys.
