Donovan
- Cool sounding name that belongs to musician Donovan Leitch (The "Mellow Yellow" guy). It's predictably of Irish origin.
- It's a Celtic/Gaelic name that means 'dark warrior.' Has always, and probably will always be my all time favorite boys' name, and I am determined to one day have a son and name him Donovan. It's masculine; classic, yet not overused. Plus, I happen to have a Donnie Darko fetish, and the nickname Donnie comes with it (as well as Don and Van).
- A solid yet mysterious Celtic name. It means "dark warrior."
- very Scottish heritage
Donovan is an anglicization of the Irish surname Ó Donnabháin, which means "a dark, swarthy person."
