Meaning & origin
Maevyn is an ultra-modern, rare name that first entered U.S. birth records in 2013. Its peak popularity occurred in 2025, the most recent year of data, suggesting growing but still niche appeal. The name's trajectory has been rising since 2013, though it remains uncommon, with a current incidence of 1 in 21,430 births. In the 2020s, Maevyn has seen the most use in Texas and California, reflecting a preference for distinctive, melodic names in those states. The spelling with 'y' gives it a contemporary, fashionable twist while retaining the soft sound of its possible Irish source.
Maevyn is a modern spelling variant of Mavin, itself a feminine form of the Irish name Mavine or a coinage from the Irish word 'maelmhin' meaning 'beloved' or 'sweet'. The name first appeared in U.S. records in 2013, reflecting a trend for unique, vowel-heavy names with a 'y' replacing 'i' for a distinctive look. It remains rare, with fewer than 1 in 20,000 births in recent years.
