Răzvan

Original meaning: not settled in the sources.

Uncertain; possibly related to the Slavic derived name Radovan (for example, found in Serbian), although this name also exists separately in Romanian as a more recent borrowing, or less likely an internal formation within Romanian. Alternatively it may be ultimately of eastern (Persian and Arabic) origin via the Roma (Gypsy) community, possibly through India, or Ottoman Turkish رضوان (modern Turkish Rıdvan); see Arabic رضوان (riḍwān).
