Nevin
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Nevin: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2009.
Nevin stems from the Irish Gaelic surname Ó Naomháin, meaning “descendant of Naomhán” – a personal name derived from *naomh*, “saint,” so the name essentially means “little saint.” It is sometimes considered a variant of Kevin, which shares the same saintly root. Modern fame belongs to Nevin Harrison, the American canoeist who won Olympic gold in 2020, and Nevin Spence, the talented Ulster rugby player whose life was tragically cut short. No major places share the name directly, but the root *naomh* appears in many Irish place-names such as Kilnavarnogue. Though rare
