River, graceful
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Rivaan (रिवान) is a modern boys' name, part of the recent fashion for names ending in -aan such as Vihaan and Ayaan. It is not found in the Sanskrit dictionaries. Name lists most often say it comes from a Sanskrit word "riva" meaning river or stream; we could not find that word in Monier-Williams, so the meaning appears to be modern. Other sites give "graceful" or "blessed one". It has a soft sound and is easy to spell across languages.
