Ewan
Ewan is an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic name, Eòghann. It is possibly a derivative of the Pictish name, Vuen, "born of the mountain." It is most common as a male given name in Scotland and Canada. It is also, less commonly, a surname, especially among the Scottish Clans
Owain is the predominant Welsh spelling of the name, but Iwan and Iuan are also found, as they are in Cornish. Ouen can be considered the French or Breton spelling of the name.
