Malvina Origin and Meaning
The name Malvina is a girl's name of Scottish origin meaning "smooth-browed one".
An invention of the eighteenth-century romantic poet James Macpherson, in his epic cycle about Ossian, a legendary Celtic hero. In Poland, where it was popular at the start of the 20th century, the spelling is Malwina, and it's also had some use in other Eastern European countries.
Fun fact: the Spanish name for the Faulkland Islands is Las Malvinas, but this derives from the French port town of St Malo, rather than from Gaelic.
