History & Origin

Evin is a spelling of Evan — the Welsh form of John, 'God is gracious' — and of the Irish Eimhín, 'swift; fair' (borne by an early Irish saint); it is also independently the Kurdish evîn, 'love' (routes layered, which we note). A soft, crisp, modern name, used for both sexes, here for boys (slug distinguished; said 'EV-in').

It registers thinly in records. Rare, God-is-gracious-or-love at the root, and crisp.
