Pictish/Gaelic or Greek/Hebrew?

Currently the page says the name Euan is derived from both Pictish, via Gaelic and from Hebrew via Greek. I find it extremely unlikely that both of these can be true since there would have been relatively little contact between these two groups of people before early modern times. The Gaelic origins are sourced and the Greek is not, and was added in it's entirely in one recent edit, which makes me think it's probably the inaccurate one, but as I don't know enough to say for sure I've just tagged it as needing a citation.
