Davin Origin and Meaning

The name Davin is a girl's name.

Davin as a feminine name is an uncommon variant of the more traditional masculine Davin, which originated as an Anglicized form of the Irish name Dáibhín, meaning 'little beloved one' or 'little deer.' While Davin has historical usage as a boy's name, its application for girls represents a modern trend of gender-crossing names. The name has a gentle yet strong quality, with its soft consonants balanced by clear pronunciation. For females, Davin offers a distinctive alternative to popular feminine names with similar sounds like Davina or Devon. The name carries Irish heritage while maintaining a contemporary feel. Though rare for girls, it appeals to parents seeking a unique name with established roots but without being overtly feminine.
