Gavvin Origin and Meaning

The name Gavvin is a boy's name.

Gavvin is a masculine name that appears to be a modern variant spelling of Gavin. The name Gavin has Celtic roots, originating from the medieval Welsh name Gawain, which was popularized through Arthurian legends. The name may also have connections to the medieval Breton name Gwalchmai, meaning "hawk of May" or "hawk of the plain." While traditional Gavin has been relatively popular in English-speaking countries, the Gavvin spelling variation is much rarer, giving it a distinctive quality. Parents might choose this alternative spelling to set their child's name apart while maintaining the familiar sound. The double 'v' adds a modern twist to this classic masculine name.
