About Arvin
This name's popularity peaked in the 1930s in the mid 600s - but we think it is time for a reconsideration. Arvin feels more modern than similar names like Marvin and Alvin. It also boasts a beautiful meaning and defies easy shortening (which is an asset to many parents who choose a name because they want it to be used!).
Pronounced AR-vin.
As of October 2026, Arvin ranked #2127 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #650 in 1937.
