Gavinn

Gavinn is a masculine name that serves as a variant spelling of Gavin, which originated from medieval Welsh as a form of 'Gawain,' one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. The name derives from the Welsh 'Gwalchgwyn,' meaning 'white hawk' or 'fair hawk.' The addition of the extra 'n' gives this traditional name a contemporary twist while maintaining its strong, masculine essence. Though less common than the standard spelling, Gavinn has gained modest popularity in recent decades as parents seek unique variations of classic names. The name carries connotations of nobility, chivalry, and strength from its Arthurian connections, making it appealing for parents looking for a name with historical depth but modern appeal.

Pronounced GAV-in.
