Irvin Origin and Meaning

The name Irvin is a boy's name of Scottish origin meaning "handsome, fair of face".

Irvin is an Old Man name that has an uncertain future. Losing the final g in Irving makes the name slightly less dated -- but just slightly. There's something about the 'erv' sound that makes Irvin and brothers feel unappealing.
