Euan

Euan is a masculine given name of Scottish origin. It is a variant spelling of Ewan and is derived from the Gaelic name Eoghan.

Etymology and meaning: Euan originates from Gaelic Eoghan, which is commonly interpreted as meaning “born of the yew” or connected to the yew tree. The form Euan is one of several Scottish spellings of this name; closely related variants include Ewan and Ewen.

Pronunciation and usage: In Scotland, Euan is typically pronounced YOU-ən. The spelling Euan is common in Scottish contexts and, outside Scotland, can be found among people with Scottish heritage or connections to Scottish culture.

Cultural and modern usage: The name has remained in use across generations and is commonly perceived as traditional rather than trendy. While most often associated with Scottish communities, Euan appears in broader English-speaking contexts through families and individuals with Scottish roots.
