The first name 
Sevan

Sevan is a masculine first name but has increasingly been given to girls in recent years.

Sevan – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Sevan in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Sevan in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Sevan by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Sevan ranks at #6,847. That means there are 6,846 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Sevan.
