Ervyn is a masculine name with Welsh and Old English influences. It likely derives from the Welsh name Erwin, meaning 'fair friend' or 'handsome friend,' combining 'er' (fair) and 'gwyn' (white, blessed, or friend). Alternatively, it may connect to the Germanic name Erwin, meaning 'honorable friend' or 'sea friend.' The distinctive spelling with a 'y' gives this ancient name a modern twist while maintaining its traditional roots.
