📖 Acerca de Kevan
Kevan es una grafía alternativa de Kevin, del antiguo irlandés Caoímhín que significa "de nacimiento gentil/apuesto". Se conecta con San Kevin de Glendalough (c.498-618), el monje ermitaño cuya ciudad monástica en las montañas de Wicklow se convirtió en uno de los grandes centros de peregrinación de la Irlanda medieval; es el patrono de Dublín. La grafía Kevan da al nombre un carácter ligeramente más arcaico, con inflexión gaélica. El propio Kevin fue uno de los nombres masculinos más populares en el mundo anglosajón durante mediados del siglo XX.
