📖 Sobre Kevan
Kevan é uma grafia alternativa de Kevin, do irlandês antigo Caoímhín que significa "de nascimento gentil/apuesto". Conecta-se a São Kevin de Glendalough (c.498-618), o monge eremita cuja cidade monástica nas montanhas de Wicklow tornou-se um dos grandes centros de peregrinação da Irlanda medieval; ele é o padroeiro de Dublin. A grafia Kevan dá ao nome um caráter ligeiramente mais arcaico, com inflexão gaélica. O próprio Kevin foi um dos nomes masculinos mais populares no mundo anglófono em meados do século XX.
