It ends in -van, the ending of several Brazilian names such as Adelvan, Denivan and Marivan, which the morpheme list of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes as a formative of doubtful origin, perhaps a hypocoristic of -vando or a part taken from Ivan.
