Meaning & origin
Cavani is a modern masculine name that entered U.S. birth records in 2014, a late arrival compared to most established names. Its peak year came in 2020, but since then it has been on a falling trajectory, with usage declining from 2019 onward. The name does not rank within the top 1000, making it a very rare choice. Its exact origin is uncertain, but it is likely a surname-style coinage. As of 2025, it has not seen enough usage to register in top states or yield a 1-in-N incidence. For parents seeking a contemporary, distinctive name with a strong sound, Cavani offers a rare option, but its long-term staying power remains to be seen.
The name Cavani is a modern innovation, likely derived from the Italian surname Cavani. It has no established meaning in English or Italian. Its usage as a first name in the United States began around 2014, possibly influenced by the footballer Edinson Cavani, though that connection is not certain. The name has seen modest use, peaking in popularity in 2020.
