Modern invention, possibly meaning hill or mountain
Brevan is a contemporary American name likely created by combining the Celtic root 'Brev' (associated with hills or heights) with the popular 'an' suffix. It may also be a variation of the Welsh name Bevan, meaning 'son of Evan'. Because it is a modern coinage, it lacks a singular historical etymology.
