Meaning today
Lord shiva
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Shiven (शिवेन) is a modern name with no entry in Monier-Williams or Apte. Name lists usually give it as "Lord Shiva" or "of Shiva", treating it as a form of the god's name, and its first part plainly comes from Sanskrit śiva, "auspicious, kind", which is also Shiva's name. The ending -en has no clear source, so we cannot confirm a precise meaning. It is probably a modern shaping of Shiva, in the same spirit as names such as Shivansh and Shivank.
