What does the name Avyaan mean?
Avyaan is a modern Indian boys' name, recorded in US data from 2012. We found no dictionary entry for it. Name sites gloss it as 'unique', 'flawless' or as an epithet of the god Vishnu, and some connect it to Sanskrit words beginning in avy- such as avyaya 'imperishable', but none of these is documented as the source of the name. We therefore do not give it a meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. Meanings online are unsourced; the Sanskrit link is speculative.
Other explanations you may read: Means 'unique' or is a name of Vishnu.
