Silvan

Silvan is a German and Swiss name for boys that has Latin and Roman origins. A variant of Silvana, Sylvana, and Sylvan, the name Silvan comes from the Roman moniker Silvānus and Latin silva, meaning “of the forest” or "of the woods." Inspired by legends of ancient beliefs, Silvan and all six of its letters breathe life into Silvanus, the Roman god of the countryside and woodlands. Silvanus oversaw woodland pastures and wild animals and had a level of menace to him, given how his domain would overgrow onto farmlands. Silvan is lovable for its wildness and earthy attributes, and picking a name this precious will hopefully inspire your wild child to connect to the natural world.
