Avin

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Avin: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2014.

Avin is a name that draws from several cultures. In Scotland, it shares its roots with the Gaelic *abhainn*, meaning "river," the source of names like Aven and the river Avon. Elsewhere, particularly in India, it is a common short form of Avinash, a Sanskrit name meaning "indestructible" or "eternal." This dual heritage gives Avin a modern, cross-cultural appeal. Though rare in Scottish naming records, its short, melodic sound has made it a choice for parents looking for something distinctive yet simple. Without any notable historical bearers, the name offers a blank canvas for a new generation to shape its own story.
