Elwin is a name of Germanic origin, composed of the elements "ela" meaning noble and "win" meaning friend. This makes Elwin a name that embodies nobility and friendship. It was popular among the Anglo-Saxons during medieval times but has since fallen out of common use in many English-speaking countries. Despite its rarity today, Elwin remains a distinctive and meaningful choice for parents seeking a unique name with historic roots.
"Elwin was a rare name with just five babies born each year in 1926."
