Meaning & origin
Eivin is an exceptionally rare boy's name in the United States, first recorded in 2012. Its peak popularity came in 2015, but since then its usage has been falling. In the most recent year data is available, Eivin ranked 12,008, with only about 1 in every 341,615 newborns receiving the name. The name has not been recorded in any top state, suggesting it is used very sporadically across the country. Given its scarcity and likely Scandinavian roots, Eivin carries a distinctive, heritage-inspired feel for parents seeking a truly uncommon name.
Eivin is likely a modern spelling variant of the traditional Scandinavian name Øyvind. The name Øyvind is composed of Old Norse elements 'øy' (island) or 'ey' (yew tree) and 'vinr' (friend). As a rare given name in the United States, it has been recorded since 2012, suggesting it may be of recent coinage influenced by Scandinavian heritage.
