Riywan

Riywan is a masculine given name used in multiple cultures, particularly among Arabic-speaking communities and in South Asian Muslim populations. The exact origin is not consistently documented, and it is often treated as either an independent name or a variant of related names such as Riwan or Riyan in transliteration from Arabic, Urdu, or Persian-influenced naming traditions. Spelling variants include Riywan, Riwan, Riyvan, and Riyan, reflecting differences in pronunciation and transliteration.

In usage, Riywan appears in the Middle East, in South Asian countries such as Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, and among global diaspora communities. As with many names in these traditions, the meaning is not fixed across cultures; some bearers assign personal or familial significance based on language and custom rather than on a single universally accepted definition.

There are no widely documented public figures whose notability is recognized specifically under this exact spelling in standard reference sources, and the name is primarily encountered as a given name rather than a surname.

Related names include Riyad, Riwan, and Riyan, which illustrate common phonetic and cultural variants across Arabic and South Asian naming practices.
