Globally, אלוואן (Elvan 
, אלוואן 
) is a common unisex given name. The given name אלוואן is characteristic of Turkey, where it is quite a common gender-neutral name, Albania, where it is quite a rare boy's name, and Indonesia, where it is quite a rare primarily masculine, but scarcely feminine name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in Turkey, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Very seldom, אלוואן is the last name as well as the forename.
