About Irvin
Irvin is an Old Man name that has an uncertain future. Losing the final g in Irving makes the name slightly less dated -- but just slightly. There's something about the 'erv' sound that makes Irvin and brothers feel unappealing.
Irvin is also given to girls.
Pronounced ER-vin.
As of October 2026, Irvin ranked #10851 in US births in 1988 SSA, peaked at #3034 in 1921.
