Meaning & History
Meaning and origin unknown. Perhaps it is related to the Turkish name Güven. Another possibility might be the Latin adjective iuvenis meaning "young, youthful" and its Middle Persian cognate ǰuwān meaning "young". Also compare the modern Spanish adjective joven meaning "young, youthful" (see Joven).A known bearer of this name was the Georgian actor Goven Cheishvili (1940-2020).
