History & Origin

Kebin represents Kevin, the anglicized Irish Caoimhin, 'gentle, handsome, beloved birth.' The spelling reflects transliteration rather than a separate name, most often among Spanish-speaking families, and is best heard as Kevin, which we note.

It appeared in the United States in the two-thousands, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak, and stayed rare as the standard spelling dominated. A Kebin from that time is a teenager or young adult today.

Did you know? The Kebin spelling often arises where Spanish is spoken, since Spanish pronounces b and v alike, so Kevin heard by ear can be written down with a b.
