Meaning & origin
Ivin is a rare masculine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1914, though it saw its greatest use during the 1920s, peaking in 1925. The name's trajectory has been in decline since 2021, and it currently ranks outside the top 9,000. With only about 1 in every 244,000 boys receiving the name, Ivin is among the more uncommon choices. It has not appeared among the top names in any state in recent decades. The name's etymology is uncertain, but it may share roots with the better-known Ivan and Ivor, giving it a traditional feel despite its rarity.
Ivin is likely a variant of Ivan, the Slavic form of John, or a diminutive of names such as Ivor. The name has been used in English-speaking countries since at least the early 20th century, though it remains quite rare.
