<p>Elwin is a masculine name with Anglo-Saxon origins, combining the elements 'elf' and 'friend,' thus meaning 'elf friend' or 'friend of elves.' This charming meaning connects the name to folklore and magical traditions. Elwin has maintained consistent though uncommon usage throughout English-speaking countries for centuries. It peaked in popularity in the early 20th century but never reached the mainstream. The name has a scholarly, somewhat whimsical quality while still maintaining masculine strength. With the recent interest in fantasy literature and media, names with mythological connections like Elwin may appeal to parents seeking something distinctive yet pronounceable. The similar-sounding Alwin and Edwin are more frequently used alternatives, making Elwin a less common choice with the same approachable sound.</p>
