History & Origin

Heavin is a spelling variant of Heaven, the word name from Old English heofon, 'the sky' or 'the heavens.' It appeared as Heaven itself rose in the early 2000s, part of a wave of aspirational word names. The -in ending softens the word into a more name-like form while holding its uplifting meaning.

Heavin stayed rare, given to only about fourteen girls a year around its 2003 peak, in the shadow of the more common Heaven. A girl named Heavin then is in her early twenties today, her name reflecting the turn-of-the-century taste for word and virtue names.

Did you know? Heaven, the word behind Heavin, comes from the Old English heofon and was taken up as a girl's name during the vogue for virtue and word names.
