This name gained popularity during the 19th century in the United States but has since become quite rare, making it a unique choice for those seeking an unconventional moniker. The short form of Belvin is Bel, which can also be used as an independent given name.
The name Belvin saw its highest popularity between 1919 and 1921 with peaks of 23 and 18 births respectively.
