About the name Rosivan
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) describes Rosi- as taken from given names such as Rosa or Rose, both from Latin rosae, 'rose', and lists Rosevan and Rosivaldo among the names with this beginning; -van appears as of doubtful origin, perhaps a hypocoristic of -vando or perhaps taken from Ivan, from Russian Iwan, 'John'. The meaning of the whole name is not documented. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 3,483 people named Rosivan, with a median age of 37; most were born between 1970 and 1999. Proportionally, it is most common in Amapá.
