Evin may be one of several unrelated given names:

  • anglicized form of Irish Éimhín, for Saint Evin (6th century). The name is a diminutive of the adjective eimh "swift, active".
  • a variant of Evan, the Welsh form of John.
  • Kurdish ئەڤین (Evîn) means love, and given as girl first name
  • Syriac ܐܝܒ̣ܢ[citation needed]
  • a feminine Turkish name[clarification needed]

The name is relatively rare. It is not one of the top 1,000 male names for babies in the U.S. in any year from 2000-2014.
