Javan First Name Meaning

Javan is a male name of Arabic origin, meaning "Youth." In Hebrew tradition, Javan was the fourth son of Noah's son Japheth and is believed to be the ancestor of the Greeks. The Hebrew name יָוָן (Yavan) is also used to refer to Greece or the Greeks. In Greek mythology, Javan is associated with Ion, a son of Apollo and the forefather of the Ionians. The name Javan is also mentioned in apocalyptic literature in the Book of Daniel, often interpreted as a reference to Alexander the Great. While Javan is linked to ancient Greece, his sons are associated with locations in the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea and Anatolia. This name carries historical and mythological significance, reflecting youth and ancient heritage.
