Top baby names with VAN
First, a quick rundown of the most popular names with the letter sequence “v-a-n,” according to the current U.S. baby name data.
Top girl names with “v-a-n”
Top boy names with “v-a-n”
Savannah Evangeline Vanessa Ivanna Savanna Giovanna Giavanna Avani Ivana Evangelina
Evan Giovanni Ivan Sullivan Donovan Evander Van Jovanni Vance Jovani
Now here are the same names again, but this time around I’ve added definitions, links to popularity graphs, and a handful of diminutives.
Avani
The name Avani comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “earth.”
Donovan
The Irish surname Donovan is derived from the given name Donndubhán, which was based on the Old Irish elements donn, meaning “brown,” and dubh, meaning “dark” or “black.”
Evan
The name Evan is an Anglicized form of the Welsh name Ifan — the equivalent of John. Both Ifan and John can be traced back to the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning “Yahweh is gracious.”
Evander
The name Evander is made up of ancient Greek elements meaning “good” and “man.”
Evangeline + Evangelina
The name Evangeline is made up of ancient Greek elements meaning “good” and “news.”
The name Evangelina is a Latinized form of Evangeline.
Giovanni, Giovanna, Giavanna, Jovanni + Jovani
Like Evan, Giovanni is an Italian equivalent of the English name John.
The name Giovanna is the feminine form of Giovanni.
The names Jovanni, Jovani, and Giavanna are modern respellings of Giovanni and Giovanna.
Diminutive forms of these names include Giovannino, Giovannina, and Vanni.
Ivan, Ivana + Ivanna
The name Ivan is the equivalent of John in various Slavic languages, such as Russian, Bulgarian, and Czech.
The names Ivana and Ivanna are feminine forms of Ivan.
The Russian diminutive form of Ivan is Vanya.
Savannah + Savanna
The word-name Savanna refers to a grassland with few trees. It comes (via Spanish) from the Arawakan word zabana.
The name Savannah can be considered a form of Savanna. It could also refer to any of the various places called Savannah, including the city in Georgia.
Sullivan
The Irish surname Sullivan is derived from the given name Súileabhán, which was based on the Old Irish elements súil, meaning “eye,” and dubh, meaning “dark” or “black.”
Van
The name Van is simply a short form of any first name or family name containing van. (In the case of Dutch surnames like Van Buren, the prefix Van means “of” or “from.”)
Vance
The name Vance comes from the English surname that originally referred to someone who lived near a wetland, such as a fen or a marsh. It’s ultimately based on the Middle English word fen(ne), meaning “fen.”
Vanessa
The name Vanessa was coined by Anglo-Irish writer Jonathan Swift as a nickname for one of his ladyfriends, Esther Vanhomrigh. (It’s a combination of “Van,” the first three letters of Vanhomrigh, and “Essa,” a diminutive of Esther.) Swift featured the name in his poem Cadenus and Vanessa (written in 1713, published in 1726).
More names with VAN
So, what other names have VAN in them? Here are some less-common choices. (Most of these come directly from the SSA’s baby name data.)
Looking for a pair of baby names that are mirror images of one another? If so, check out this long list of palindromic name pairings.
What’s a palindrome? It’s a word or phrase that can be read the same way in either direction, i.e., both forwards and backwards. For instance, the words “level,” “refer” and “pop” are all palindromes.
Each of the hundreds of pairings below features two names that contain the same sequence of letters, just written in opposite directions. (Nearly all of these names were collected from the SSA’s huge database of U.S. baby names.)
It’s also possible to come up with your own palindromic pairs by flipping traditional names to create brand new names, just as Ramon and Helen were flipped to create the modern names Nomar and Neleh.
Looking for a set of baby names with something in common? If so, here are some 4-letter anagram names for you to check out!
Anagrams are words that contain the same set of letters, but not in the same sequence. For instance, the words “race,” “care,” and “acre” are all anagrams of one another.
Anagram names can be a neat option for siblings — particularly multiples (like twins and triplets). They’re also a clever way to connect a baby name to the name of an older relative (e.g., grandpa Gary, grandson Gray).
Below are hundreds of four-letter names (collected from the SSA’s huge database of U.S. baby names) that happen to be anagrams of other names.
