Gavin is the late medieval form of Lowland Scotland and the Old English Welsh masculine name Gawain (although its etymology is not entirely certain). Gawain, in turn, is generally associated with the ancient Celtic Gwalchgwyn, from the Welsh elements "Gwalch", meaning "falcon" and "Gwyn", meaning "white, fair". Gawain is best remembered as Sir Gawain, one of the notable Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian legends. It was said that Gawain's power grew as the sun rose in the sky, and diminished as the sun set. The name was made most famous by a long medieval poem written in a dialect of some Middle English in the 14th century (author unknown) called "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" (or "Sir Gawayn and la Grene Knyӡt" in its variation Intermediate English). Sir Gawain is idealized as the perfect gentleman; the embodiment of all that is excellent. He is handsome, loyal, strong, brave, and chivalrous. See the literary references below for more details. Although Gawain/Gavin is essentially an old Celtic name, it was more or less forgotten by the 18th century. Fortunately, this "white sparrow hawk" is flying again (after a 20th century revival). He was first revived in England and Ireland, but today Sir Gavin is more popular in the United States and Canada. it was more or less forgotten by the 18th century.

Popularity:
Although Gavin got in and out of the American male naming charts in the 1950s, the name didn't take off until the 1960s. Gavin's popularity was mostly low to moderate in the second half of the 20th century. Breakthrough came in the 21st century when, in the year 2000, Gavin achieved Top 100 status for the first time in history. They may have already reached their peak success, however, because they now seem to be leveling off at the upper end of the upper 50 scale. Even though Gavin has become somewhat of a fad in recent years, the name doesn't feel worn or used anymore. There is a simple manliness to the name; a certain quality of gentleman.

Being my first pregnancy, choosing a name for a child was hard and often my husband and I would becker over the name. I wanted something unique and well he...he wanted a John. After months to choose a name Delivery Day came and so did the finaly decision on the baby's name. After changing my son's name twice and giving the medical records a hard time, I pulled out the Baby Name Book closed my eyes and pointed to the first name that appeared. God must of spared a huge ordeal for us, cause the medical records lady was flustred by now, and I announced the name Gavin, but spelled it Gavynn. To my surprise we both loved it. Today Gavynn Tyler is 4 years old and beautiful as can be, I wouldn't change his name for the world.
