We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Shivaan (शिवान) is a modern name with no entry of its own in the Sanskrit dictionaries. It is clearly built on Śiva, a name that Monier-Williams traces to an adjective meaning auspicious, propitious, kind and benign. Families use Shivaan to mean "Lord Shiva", "divine" or "belonging to Shiva", which fit its root, but we could not find the exact form in a dictionary, so we cannot confirm a precise meaning. It is distinct from Shiven and Shivansh, which are already on our site.
