Meaning & origin
Yuvan first entered the U.S. Social Security data in 2004, reflecting a modest but steady adoption among families with South Asian heritage. Its peak popularity came in 2018, when it reached its highest rank. Since then, the name has been on a falling trajectory, though it remains in use. In 2025, about 1 in 37,132 boys were named Yuvan. The name is most common in Ohio, Texas, and California, states with significant Indian-American populations. Yuvan's meaning 'young' and its association with Lord Shiva give it a spiritual yet modern appeal.
Yuvan is a name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'young' or 'youthful'. In Hinduism, it is also an epithet of Lord Shiva. The name is commonly used in South India, particularly in Tamil-speaking communities, and has gained some popularity in the United States since the early 2000s.
