Eyvin, of Germanic origin, is a distinctive and rare given name for males. It's derived from the Old Norse word 'Eyvindr', which is a combination of 'ei' meaning 'island' and 'vindr' meaning 'wind'. The name was popularized through Norse mythology, where Eyvindr Skáldaspillir was a renowned poet in the Viking Age. Today, Eyvin remains a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
In 2005 alone, there were five instances of newborns being named Eyvin. Across all years, this amounts to a total of five babies bearing this unique moniker.
