Meaning & origin
Audwin is a rare English name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1953, but it has never achieved widespread popularity. Its peak year of usage was 1958, after which it steadily declined. The name's trajectory remains stable, with very few births each year and no recorded rank in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 names. Its obscurity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with a classic sound. While the exact meaning is uncertain, it is likely a variant of Edwin or a modern coinage combining elements meaning 'wealth' and 'friend'.
