What is the meaning of the name Tevian ?

Tevian is English in Origin.

Tevian is a modern English-language given name of uncertain etymology, documented in the United States from the late 20th century. It likely arose as a stylistic elaboration on Tevin - a contemporary name popularized in the 1990s - blending patterns seen in Tavian/Tavion. Some interpretations also connect it to Tevi, a Hebrew nickname for Toviyah/Tovia. Usage remains rare and largely regional, appearing sporadically in American records and contemporary culture rather than in older onomastic traditions.

Meaning depends on the presumed source: from the Kevin/Tevin line it inherits senses of “gentle, comely” via Irish caomh; from the Hebrew Tovia line it carries “Yahweh is good”; via Tavian/Octavian it echoes “eighth.” Variant forms and near-relations include Tevin, Tevan, Tevion, Tevyon/Tevyan, Tevi, Tavian, Tavion, and Octavian; feminine elaborations such as Teviana occasionally appear.
