Efan Origin and Meaning

The name Efan is a boy's name.

Efan is a Welsh masculine name, being a variant spelling of Evan. It ultimately derives from the Welsh form of John (Ieuan, Ifan), which comes from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning "God is gracious." While less common than its counterpart Evan, Efan maintains the distinctive Welsh character with its modified spelling. The name has remained relatively uncommon outside of Wales, making it a distinctive choice that carries Celtic heritage. In Welsh-speaking communities, Efan represents a connection to traditional naming patterns while offering a slightly unique alternative to more widely used variants.
