The meaning of Kevin is “Gentle birth”. Its origin is “English variant of the Gaelic/Celtic name Caoimhín”. Kevin is a form of Caoimhin and is generally pronounced like “KEHV in” and “KEH vin”. Kevin is derived from the Celtic names ‘Caemgen’ or ‘Caoimhin’, both of which derived from the words ‘coim’, which means ‘kind, gentle’, or the word ‘caomh’, which means ‘fair or comely’. Handsome. Kevin is the anglicized form of the Irish masculine name Caoimhin, from the Gaelic elements “caomh” meaning “beautiful, gentle” and “ghin”meaning “born”. So Kevin essentially translates to “well-born” and/or “gentle, handsome child”. Caoimhín has been a long-standing favorite boy’s name in Ireland, owing much of his success to a 6th century saint Caoimhín (anglicized to St. Kevin of Glendalough) who lived as a hermit in a tiny, remote rock cave in the glacial valley of Glendalough, Ireland (about 30 miles south of Dublin). This name derived from the Irish root “coem” to “caoimhin”, from the Gaelic, meaning “handsome, beautiful, gentle, kind, honest, gentle birth”.
It was the first name that became popular outside Ireland in the mid-twentieth century. Kevin of Glendalough is an Irish Saint who was known as the founder and first abbot of Glendalough in County Wicklow, Ireland. His feast day in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church is on June 3. Anglicized form of the Irish name Caoimhin, derived from the older Irish Coemgein, composed of the Old Irish elements coem “kind, gentle, handsome” and gein “birth”. Saint Caoimhin established a monastery in Glendalough, Ireland in the 6th century and is the patron saint of Dublin. It became popular in the English-speaking world outside of Ireland in the 20th century. Famous Kevins: Kevin Bacon – actor, Kevin Costner – actor, Kevin Kline – actor, Kevin Nealon – actor.
