Sivan is an ancient and unique Hebrew name that carries profound meaning connected to the Hebrew calendar cycle and Jewish tradition. The name designates the third month counting from Nisan, and the ninth month counting from Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar. Like all Hebrew month names, Sivan came to us from the Babylonian exile period, when the people of Israel adopted Babylonian-Aramaic month names instead of the ancient biblical names. The word "Sivan" derives from the Aramaic-Akkadian root "sivanu" or "simanu", meaning "season", "appointed time" or "fixed period". This meaning emphasizes the importance of measured and ordered time, of cyclicality and constancy in life. The month of Sivan occurs at the height of the Israeli spring, when nature is at its peak bloom and the fields are full of abundance. This is the month when Shavuot falls, one of the three major pilgrimage festivals in Judaism, also called "the time of the giving of our Torah". This holiday marks the revelation at Mount Sinai and the receiving of the Torah by the people of Israel, and therefore the month of Sivan carries deep spiritual significance of revelation, of receiving eternal values, and of spiritual renewal. The connection between the name and Shavuot gives it a dimension of holiness, of connection to roots, and of dedication to values. As a personal name, Sivan conveys a sense of connection to nature and cyclicality, of attachment to ancient tradition, and of Israeli uniqueness. In recent decades, Sivan has become an especially popular name for girls in Israel, though there were periods when it was also given to boys. The name radiates both delicacy and strength - on one hand, it is short, simple and easy to pronounce, and on the other hand, it carries rich cultural and historical depth. Parents who choose the name Sivan for their children express connection to Jewish-Israeli identity, love of nature and the seasons, and appreciation for ancient tradition. The name is particularly suitable for children born in the month of Sivan itself, but many choose it in other months as well due to its beauty and uniqueness. Sivan is a name that connects historical past with modern present, Jewish spirituality with connection to nature, and family tradition with innovation and personal uniqueness.

In Kabbalah, the month of Sivan is associated with the zodiac sign of Gemini and symbolizes duality and completeness - just as the Torah was given both in written and oral form. The month carries energy of reception and openness to supreme wisdom, and is identified with the Sefirah of Yesod which connects the spiritual world to the material world. The name Sivan has a gematria value that links it to concepts of time and holiness.
