Originated from a beautiful person called "Chi Van" whose amazing choreography and artistic interpretations of Vietnamese culture forced the creation of such a word.

Meaning:
1. adj. Being overly talented
2. adj. Being original and extremely artistic - perfectionist
3. n. Unusual talent (positive)
You do that so well, it's like you have some chivan.

You can't have chivan, your dance isn't good whatsoever.

She only pretends to be chivan, she's really not that good.
