About
Donovan is an Irish name and is generally used in English. It is derived from the Old Irish Donnabhain, the name of a great king. The name Donnabhain itself is a compound of two words - “donn” which means brown and the diminutive suffix “an”.::Pop culture played a key role in advancing Donovan up the baby-name charts. After its entry in the early 20th century, the name barely moved until a British pop singer became wildly successful in the mid- to late 1960s. His name? Donovan. It was such an uncommon name that the singer didnt use his last name professionally (coincidentally, the name Donovan started as an Irish surname). Parents thought it sounded groovy and began giving the name to their baby boys.
