Ewan

• This name is gentle, yet masculine. I like that it softly roles off the tongue, and that it has a sense of wisdom.
• the Scottish form of "Evan". More uncommon than Evan, with a softer, burrish sound. Also - Ewan McGregor.

Ewan (also found as Euan and Ewen) is an anglicization of the Gaelic name Eoghan, which means "born of the yew." Eoghan is used in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic with slightly different pronunciations. However, in Ireland, Owen was sometimes used as an anglicization for Eoghan, though more often Eoghan was found Eugene. Ewan/Euan/Ewen is an anglicization associated strongly with Scotland.
