Of uncertain etymology, some believe Gavin to be from the obsolete Gwalchmai, a Gaelic name derived from the elements gwalch (a hawk) and maedd (a blow, battle). In Arthurian legend, Gavin is a byname for Sir Gawain, a knight of the Round Table and nephew of King Arthur. The name, which died out at the end of the Middle Ages, remained viable in Scotland until its revival elsewhere in the British Isles in the 20th century |
