In Mandaeism, Kiwan, Kiuan (Classical Mandaic: ࡊࡉࡅࡀࡍ; Persian: کیوان), or Kewan is the Mandaic name for the planet Saturn.[1] Kiwan is one of the seven planets (Classical Mandaic: ࡔࡅࡁࡀ, romanized: šuba, lit. 'The Seven'), who are part of the entourage of Ruha in the World of Darkness.[2][3]

Kiwan, who is associated with Saturday as well as Judaism, is also called Br Šamiš (The Son of the Sun). Kiwan's name is derived from the Akkadian Kajamānu.[4]

Near the end of Book 3 and at the beginning of Book 9.1 in the Right Ginza, Kiwan is identified with the Kentaeans, a related Gnostic sect.[3]
