File this one under “names that sound like other names but are actually real names in their own right.†Cavan, which sounds suspiciously similar to Kevin, is a strong, masculine name that will surely appeal to many parents of expected baby boys. Some sources declare Cavan to be an Irish name that means “hollow.†Other websites and books say it’s Gaelic, and the meaning is “handsome†or “good-looking.†Whichever meaning suits your fancy, know that the name is far from popular (and getting less so by the year), so don’t be surprised if this is the first time you’ve ever heard of it!
