Keyvan is of Persian origin and means "dignified, honorable." It's a unisex name that gained popularity in Iran during the mid-20th century. In Western cultures, it may be perceived as exotic or unique due to its non-English etymology. The name has been used consistently throughout history in Persia but started gaining global recognition with the diaspora of Persian communities in recent decades.
"The name Keyvan experienced fluctuations in popularity over time, with a notable spike in usage in 1994 and again around the early 2000s, but overall it has maintained steady presence since 1988 with a total of sixty births recorded."
