No, I don’t think it comes from ‘riwa’. The template of marwan is فعلان, exactly like burhan, ħafyan, 3atshan etc… and it is always an adjective. (Burhan may have developed the meaning of ‘proof’, but originally it is an adjective. Its root is b-r-h (longevity, eternity, timelessness) and the adjective meant probably “the one who lives long” — a logical baby name, in those times). I think the original root of Marwan is m-r-ʔ (ʔ = hamza). In some old nouns that the hamza can change for a ‘w’ or a ‘y’ (depending on the vowel preceding it). The root m-r-ʔ is that of murūʔa, which means “manhood, chivalry, sens of honour”. I think it’s a logical name to give your son.
