In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Ivaan (इवान) is a modern Indian boy's name, liked for its short, soft sound that works in any language. Its origin is not settled. Indian name lists usually give it as "gift of God" or "God's grace" and call it Sanskrit, but we could not find any Sanskrit word behind it. It sounds the same as Ivan, the Slavic form of John, a Hebrew name meaning "God is gracious", which may be where the popular gloss comes from. We treat it as a modern name families use to mean a gift of God.
