“very young; newly come into youth”

What does Nevcivan mean?
Very young; newly come into youth
In Turkish: çok genç; gençliğe yeni erişmiş
Nevcivan belongs to an older literary vocabulary of youth and freshness. Its first element reinforces the youthful sense of civan. The name is directly related to Civan, but the same word can also function as a poetic description, so an occurrence in a historical text is not necessarily a personal name.
The ending “-an” is a common final sound rather than a suffix with one shared meaning here. Aslan, Hasan and Yaman have different origins and structures despite their matching endings. More boy names ending in -an →
