Bervyn Origin and Meaning

The name Bervyn is a boy's name.

Bervyn is a masculine name with Welsh and Old English influences. It likely developed as a variant of names like Berwyn (a Welsh place name meaning 'white summit' or 'blessed hill') or as a combination of elements like the Germanic 'bern' (bear) and 'win' (friend). Bervyn possesses a dignified, somewhat aristocratic quality with its distinctive sound pattern. The name has never achieved widespread popularity, remaining quite rare throughout recorded naming history. This obscurity gives Bervyn an air of uniqueness and distinction. Those named Bervyn might appreciate its uncommon nature and subtle connection to Celtic heritage, making it an interesting choice for parents seeking something traditional yet distinctive.
