Water or river
Avan is a name with multiple etymological roots, most notably from Persian where it relates to water or the month of waters. In a Celtic context, it is often seen as a variant of Avan or Afan, derived from the Welsh word for river. It is distinct from the more common Evan and offers a modern, global appeal.
