About the name Erivan
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists -van as a formative of doubtful origin, perhaps a hypocoristic of -vando, a fragment of Evandro, or of Ivan, and cites Elivan, Marivan and Josivan among the examples. The origin of the initial element Eri- is uncertain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 16,342 people named Erivan, with a median age of 40, almost always men and mostly born between the 1970s and the 1990s.
