Kevina Origin and Meaning

The name Kevina is a girl's name.

Kevina is a feminine form of Kevin, which derives from the Irish name Caoimhín, meaning "handsome birth" or "gentle birth." The name combines the original masculine name with the feminine suffix "-a," following a common pattern for creating female versions of male names. This practice became particularly popular in the mid-to-late 20th century. While Kevin reached peak popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, Kevina has remained relatively uncommon. The name carries the same Irish heritage as its masculine counterpart, making it appealing to parents with Irish connections seeking a less common feminine option. Kevina maintains a recognizable quality while offering distinctiveness compared to more widespread feminine names.
