Divan – திவான்

Divan is used as a masculine given name in Tamil-speaking communities and elsewhere. It can be associated with the Persian/Arabic title 'Diwan' (a council or high official) or, in some usages, with the Sanskrit-rooted 'Devan' meaning 'divine'. I cannot confirm a single definitive origin for this spelling in Tamil, so view these as common associations rather than a definitive etymology.
