Indo-Aryan: Kavin is a shortened form of the word kavindra, which is a clubbing of kavi + indra. Kavi is the general title of the kings (chiefs) in Avesta. "Kavi" means king itself. The Kavi entered Iranian mythology as Kianids. In its origin, it is Kavin which is an Indo-Aryan (also termed as Indo-European) name derived from Kav + Inder (Lord Indra). In other meaning, the prefix 'Ka' or 'Kav' is an indicator of action implying 'Karma'.

Irish (Gaeilge): Kavin is an anglicized form of the Irish name Caoimhín, derived from the older Irish Coemgen, composed of the Old Irish elements coem meaning "kind, gentle, handsome" and gein meaning "birth".
