Duvan is Spanish in Origin.

Duván (also written Duvan or Duban) is a masculine given name especially popular in Colombia and parts of Latin America. Often linked to the Irish Gaelic Dubhán, it derives from dubh "dark, black" plus the diminutive -án, yielding the sense "little dark one" or "dark-haired youth." In Spanish usage the acute accent marks the stressed final syllable (Duván); outside the Spanish sphere, the accent is often dropped.

Dubhán appears in early Irish records and hagiography, and related surnames include Doohan and Dwan. As a given name, Duván rose sharply in Colombia in the late 20th century and gained wider notice through footballers such as Duván Zapata. Variants and near-equivalents include Dubán, Duban, Duvan, and the Irish form Dubhán; feminine elaborations like Duvana also occur. The name's modern appeal blends a compact, contemporary sound with an old Celtic meaning tied to dark color or complexion.
