Rhuvawn is in Origin.

Rhuvawn is a modern, very rare given name most plausibly modeled on the Irish Gaelic Ruadhán/Ruabhán, with the Welsh-looking rh and an English v standing in for Gaelic bh. It literally means “little red(-haired) one,” from rua/ruadh “red” + the diminutive -án, yielding an overall sense of a fair- or auburn‑haired child. Typical pronunciations are ROO-awn or ROO-vawn.

In historical terms the base name Ruadhán has deep roots in Ireland, borne by St. Ruadhán of Lorrha (6th century) and recurring in medieval genealogies, then revived in the modern Gaelic name revival. Established variants and near-equivalents include Ruadhán, Ruán/Ruan, Rowan (often used as an Anglicized form), and the Scottish Gaelic Ruadhan. While the initial rh may suggest Welsh, Rhuvawn is not a traditional Welsh form; compare the distinct Welsh names Rhufon/Rhufawn, historically linked to Rhufain (“Rome”), sometimes confused through spelling.
