Kayvon as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kayvon

What is the meaning of the name Kayvon ?

The baby name Kayvon is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈkeɪvən/ (KAY-vən).

Kayvon is Persian in Origin.

Kayvon is a modern English transliteration of Persian Keyvān (کیوان), the traditional Persian name for the planet Saturn, from Middle Persian Kēwān. In classical Persian poetry, Keyvān evokes the highest heaven, loftiness, and exalted rank; as a given name it connotes ambition, steadfastness, and cosmic grandeur. The name is predominantly masculine.

The spelling Kayvon gained currency among the Iranian diaspora in the late 20th century and has modest use in North America, valued for its clear, two-syllable pronunciation. Common variants and transliterations include Keyvan, Kayvan, Keivan, Kaivan, and Keyvān; a looser Anglicized offshoot is Kavon. Nickname Kay is sometimes used. Keyvān appears in Persian literary tradition as a symbol of the firmament, while contemporary bearers - such as American football player Kayvon Thibodeaux and tech executive Kayvon Beykpour - have brought this elegant Iranian name wider recognition.
