Sivan Meaning and Origin
Sivan is a unisex name of Hebrew origin meaning “third month on the Jewish calendar,” corresponding to May or June in the Gregorian calendar. It is a springtime month and is associated with the holiday of Shavuot, which commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. As a given name, Sivan is used for both boys and girls in Israel and among Jewish communities worldwide. In Sanskrit, Sivan is a variant spelling of “Shiva,” one of the principal deities in Hinduism. Shiva is considered the destroyer and transformer within the Hindu trinity (alongside Brahma, the creator, and Vishnu, the preserver). Sivan/Shiva is revered as the supreme being and represents various aspects such as meditation, asceticism, and cosmic harmony. Sivan is predominantly used as a masculine name in this context.
