    Im not Wesh but lived in around Caernarfon / Bangor for 10 years. I thought Evan was Ifan in Welsh. could be wrong somebody Welsh probably be able to help you more. x

    It's definetly spelt Evan but there are lots of other derivatives of it and it's pronounced Evan. It's a traditional welsh name Evan (we liked it but our surname is Evans) I have a welsh names book at home and can double check tonight! xx

    I speak welsh and i'd say it was Ifan or as chuffedbaby2 says Efan as there's no V in the welsh alphabet.
