History & Origin

Jovin belongs with Jovan, Jovian and Jovanni. These trace to the Latin Jovis, an oblique form of Jupiter - the same root that gives us the word 'jovial'. In Slavic languages Jovan is also a form of John. Jovin itself reads as a modern American spelling within that family, and we have found no documented etymology for this exact form - routes uncertain, which we note (said 'JOH-vin').

It appears only very rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, modern, and classically flavoured.

Did you know? Jove is another name for Jupiter, king of the Roman gods - and the source of the word 'jovial'. Jovin sits in that family, though its exact route is uncertain, which we note (said 'JOH-vin').
