Ivaan is best explained through Ivan: Wiktionary records इवान as a Hindi given name borrowed from Russian. That route leads through forms of John to Hebrew Yohanan, ‘God is gracious’, which is the meaning given here. Other meanings offered for Indian Ivaan, including ‘sun’ or ‘gift of God’, are not supported by the cited dictionaries. The Russian route is documented, but should not automatically be treated as the intended origin of every use of the spelling Ivaan.

Spelling and pronunciation
इवान is read i-vaan, in two syllables with a short first vowel and a long second one. Ivan and Evaan also appear as Roman forms. Ivaan's doubled a makes the second vowel's length visible. The v may sound between English v and w in an Indian pronunciation.
Also spelled Ivan, Evaan.
