GENDER: Masculine, USAGE: English, Scottish, PRONOUNCED: GAV-in (English). The medieval form of GAWAIN. Though it died out in England, it was reintroduced from Scotland in the 20th century. Gavin has had a meteoric rise to the top. Perhaps due to musicians Gavin DeGraw and Gavin Rossdale (aka Mrs. Gwen Stefani), parents of late have been gravitating towards this name in droves. In Arthurian Legend, Gavin is a member of the Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur’s nephew.
Origin Scottish and Welsh: White hawk. This name derives from the Proto-Celtic, Proto-Brythonic, and Welsh articulated root: “Gawain”. It is the Late Medieval form of the name “Gawain”, which in turn is believed to have originated from the Welsh name “Walchgwn”, meaning “white hawk.” Kenneth Jackson suggested the name evolved from an early Common Brittonic name “*Ualcos Magesos”, meaning “Hawk of the plain”.
Sir Gawain and the green knight is an epic poem connected with King Arthur’s roundtable. The form Gavin survived in Scotland and spread to other English-speaking countries in the 1960s. Gawain is King Arthur’s nephew and a knight of the round table in the Arthurian legend. Under the name Gwalchmai, he appears very early in the legend’s development, being mentioned in some of the earliest Welsh Arthurian sources. Gavin is an English and Scottish variant of Gawain. Gawain originates in the Welsh language and means “hawk of white”. In Arthurian legends, Gawain was one of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table, known from the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
