What does Kayvon mean?
Kayvon means “Saturn”.
Kayvon is a Latin-letter spelling of the Persian name Kayvan or Keyvan, a name for the planet Saturn. Its astronomical meaning comes from an old vocabulary of planetary names. The Middle Persian form Kewan is related to an Akkadian term associated with steadiness, providing a history quite different from dividing the modern spelling into kay and von.
Kayvan and Keyvan are useful related spellings for families exploring the same name. The planetary connection may appeal to parents interested in astronomy, while the Persian background can carry a family or cultural significance. Kayvon preserves that established name rather than being a combination invented from two English-sounding parts.
