Rivaan is a modern Indian name of uncertain origin; it is most often explained as "star" and is one of the many fresh Sanskrit-sounding names with a long double vowel, like Vivaan and Rishaan, that Indian parents have favored since the 2000s. In the United States it has climbed from number 4519 in 2015 to number 2350 in 2025, its best rank so far.
