Corwin Origin and Meaning
The name Corwin is a boy's name meaning "heart's friend".
Corwin is an upstanding surname name that has been seen occasionally as a first in literature, but rarely in real life. But maybe with the recent acceptance of Darwin, that might change.
In the Water trilogy, Corwin appears as a teenage Merlin, and Prince Corwin is a main character in the the Chronicle of Amber series by Roger Zelazny.
