What Does the Name Kaiwan Mean?
Kaiwan is a Persian masculine name, from New Persian Kayvān (کیوان), the ordinary Persian name for the planet Saturn; its established meaning is "Saturn." The astronomical word is generally traced to Akkadian kayamānu, "the steady one" or "the constant one," an epithet of Saturn. The Akkadian phrase is the remote etymology of the term, not a separate meaning of the personal name.
Kaiwan Name History & Origins
The word is old in Persian astronomical vocabulary. Middle Persian Kēwān developed into New Persian Kayvān, and Persian texts use it for Saturn. The given name is this astronomical term used as a personal name. In Arabic astronomical writing, Kaywān appears as a borrowing from Persian for Saturn, alongside the usual Arabic name Zuḥal (زحل); this does not make the given name Arabic in origin.
Kaiwan is used as a masculine given name in Iran and among Persian-speaking communities elsewhere. The spellings Kayvan, Keyvan, and Keivan represent the same name, while Kaiwan is an English transliteration rather than a separate Persian form.
