The popularity of the name Evan for males in the United States had risen steadily in recent decades, going from the 440th-ranked male name in 1957 to peaking at the 35th-ranked male name in 2009. It has since declined, dropping out of the top 50 male names in the US by 2013 and out of the top 100 by 2020. It was never a popular name for girls, though its popularity as a girl's name increased slightly in the 1980s and '90s; it has also declined since then, just as it has among boys.
