Gavin: Boys Baby Name Meaning

Gavin Baby Name

The name Gavin means ‘white hawk’.

Gavin is the late medieval Lowland Scottish and English form of the ancient Welsh masculine name Gawain.

Gawain is generally associated with the ancient Celtic Gwalchgwyn, from the Welsh elements ‘gwalch’ meaning ‘hawk’ and ‘gwyn’ meaning ‘white, fair’.

Gawain is best remembered as Sir Gawain, one of the notable Knights of the Roundtable in Arthurian legends.

It was said that Gawain’s power grew as the sun heightened in the sky, and diminished as the sun set.

The name was made most famous by a lengthy medieval poem written in a dialect of Middle English sometime in the 14th century (by an unknown author) called Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

Sir Gawain is romanticized as the perfect knight; the embodiment of all that is excellent.

Though the name Gavin died out in England, it was reintroduced from Scotland in the 20th century.

Famous people who share the name Gavin:

Gavin Newsom (politician), Gavin Rossdale (musician) and Gavin Macleod (actor).
