Meaning & origin

Korvin is a modern masculine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2002. It has never cracked the top 1000, but saw its highest recorded usage in 2012, after which its popularity began to fall. The name is likely a respelling of Corvin or Corbin, drawing on the Latin root 'corvus' for crow or raven. With no strong historical ties or top state concentrations, Korvin remains a rare choice in the United States.

Korvin appears to be a modern creation, likely influenced by the Latin word 'corvus' (crow) or the surname Corbin. It may also be a respelling of Corvin, a variant of Corbin that gained some use in the late 20th century. The name has no long historical pedigree and is primarily found in English-speaking countries from the early 2000s onward.
