Yuvaan is connected with Sanskrit yuvan, whose meanings include ‘young’, ‘youthful’ and ‘healthy’. Wiktionary and Monier-Williams also record the noun for a young person. The name spelling reflects a longer-vowel form of that Sanskrit word, and related forms occur in Gujarati and Hindi. The sources support the youthful and healthy meanings through the underlying vocabulary, rather than through a separate entry for the exact modern name.

युवान is read yu-vaan, in two syllables with a short u and a long aa. Yuvan is another Roman spelling. The dictionary headword युवन्, yuvan, changes its form in Sanskrit grammar; the name reflects the longer yuvān- form. The v may sound between English v and w.
