About the name Regivan
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Regivan as Regi- plus -van. According to the Morfemário, Regi- is probably a fragment taken from names such as Regina, from Latin Regina, 'queen', and -van is of doubtful origin, perhaps a hypocoristic of -vando or a fragment of Ivan; so the meaning of the whole name is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,605 people named Regivan, with a median age of 35. Proportionally, it is most common in Maranhão.
