Ewan
Ewan is a Scottish name with multiple sources. It is usually an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic name Eòghann "noble born" and therefore derived ultimately from Latin ''Eugenius''. A Pictish name, ''Uuen'' (or ''Wen'') meaning "(the) warrior", or "born of the mountain", may instead be the source. If the source is Latin ''Eugenius'', it would make Ewan a cognate of Welsh, Cornish and Breton names including Owain (Owen) and Ouen. However, these may be older names derived from Britonnic language words referring to yew trees or ovines. Another possible more likely source is Euan, a Gaelic form of Latin '' Johannes/Ioannes''. As such it would be a cognate of Eoin, Ian and John. (''Euan'' is also an alternate name for the Roman god Bacchus.) Ewen is most common as a male given name in Scotland and Canada. It is also the source of surnames, mostly connected to Clan MacEwen and including McEwan, Ewan and Ewen. It is after these surnames that McEwan’s Beer and MacEwan Uni ...
