At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
The Welsh name 'Iefan,' which is a variant of the name John, is the source of the male given name 'Evan' in both English and Wales.
The names John and Ivan are both derived from the ancient Hebrew name 'Yəhôḥānān,' which means 'Yahweh is gracious.' In other languages, they could be compared to 'Ivan,' 'Juan,' and 'Ian.'
Since 1957, when it was rated 440th among boys' names, the popularity of the name Evan for boys in the United States has continuously increased, reaching a peak in 2009 at number 35. Since then, it has dropped; by 2013, it was no longer among the top 50 male first names in the US, and by 2020, it was no longer within the top 100. It was never a common name for girls, but it became slightly more popular in the '80s and '90s; it has since fallen, just like it has among boys.
The Hebrew word has meanings in other languages as well as English. Its Scottish translation is 'right-handed,' and it connects to the Gaelic term 'Eóghan,' which signifies 'youth' and comes from Euan, which means 'young warrior.'
